Released Friday by the Ad Hoc Working Group on Long Term ative Action (AWG-LCA)--the U.N. group responsible for negotiating a successor to the Kyoto Protocol treaty at Copenhagen--the draft proposal outlines the major commitments and obligations of both developed and undeveloped nations. Among the proposals the draft agreement outlines are a new international agency responsible for redistributing financial resources from developed countries to developing ones and another new international agency that would coordinate the redistribution of advanced technologies to those same developing countries. Under the proposed agreement, the details of which will be worked out over the coming week, developed countries--including the United States--would be responsible for not only enacting their own “legally-binding†environmental laws but also for funding and assisting the environmental agendas of Third World states. “Developed country Parties shall undertake, individually or jointly, legally binding nationally appropriate mitigation commitments or actions, [including][expressed as] quantified economywide emission reduction objectives with a view to reducing the collective greenhouse gas emissions of developed country Parties by at least [25–40] [in the order of 30] [40] [45] per cent from 1990 levels by 2020;†the draft reads. The bracketed portions represent details which have not yet been finalized. “Developed country Parties shall provide adequate, predictable and sustainable financial resources, technology and capacity-building to support the implementation of adaptation action in developing country Parties,†says the draft. In fact, developed nations must finance and provide technological support for developing countries’ “enabling activities†including the planning and preparation of emissions reductions efforts and the measuring of greenhouse gas emissions. “Enabling activities, such as preparation and elaboration of low-emission development plans, preparation of national communications and greenhouse gas inventories, and planning and elaboration of nationally appropriate mitigation actions, and related capacity-building, carried out by developing country Parties, shall be supported on the basis of the agreed full costs,†says the draft. “Developed country Parties shall provide new and additional financial resources and technology and institutional capacity-building support for nationally appropriate mitigation actions on the basis of agreed full incremental costs, in accordance with Article 4, paragraphs 3, 5 and 7 and Article 11, paragraph 5, of the Convention,†the draft says. To facilitate these plans, developed nations must pay annual contributions starting in 2013. These new international fees would be collected and redistributed by a new international agency. “[Developed country Parties][All Parties, except least developed countries,] shall, beginning in 2013, provide resources based on an [assessed][indicative] scale of contributions] to be adopted by the Conference of the Parties] “To [establish] [define] an [X] body, which shall [work under the [guidance [andauthority] of and] be accountable to the Conference of the Parties, [to implement the policies, programme priorities and eligibility criteria of the financial mechanism],†the draft treaty says. In order to coordinate the redistribution of technology from developed countries to developing ones, and new “Technology Mechanism†will be created that will “accelerate the diffusion†of technology around the world. “To establish a Technology Mechanism…to accelerate technology development and transfer in support of action on adaptation and mitigation that will be guided by a country-driven approach, consisting of: (a) [An Executive Body on Technology][A Technology Action Committee] in accordance with terms of reference to be adopted by the Conference of the Parties,†says the draft. “( A Consultative Network for Climate Technology to be supported by regional technology centres to support and accelerate the diffusion of environmentally sound technologies for mitigation and adaptation through the provision of technical assistance to support action on adaptation and mitigation in developing country Parties.†+++ The UN is basically 30 or 40 developed nations and 130 moochers run by kleptocrats. What they are trying to do is to secure a steady stream of international aid to loot like they have been doing for the last 40 years or more. I think we should do one of two things. 1. A large part of these nation's problems, aside from the corrupt governments, is overpopulation. Too many people on land that has no chance of supporting them. That population is leading to spreading deserts, destruction of jungles and animal species, etc. The primary cause of this was Western Aid by bleeding heart groups. They sent food and medicine without thinking about the long term situation. So now places like Sudan which had a barely sustainable 6 million population in 1950 is now 30 million on worse land. Let's take all those "We are the World" celebrities and other groups, take all of their assets and assign them stewardship for life over a refugees camp or three in those areas, using their money to run it of course. Then they can watch first hand the ineptitude of the UN, the looting of the local leaders , and see what they have wrought in the name of a publicity stunt. 2. The developed world should kick out the UN and tell the moochers "the jig is up." all foreign aid to those nations is cut, though private charities may work at their own risk, which means they'll run away very quickly. After a couple of years of dreadful news stories, which would probably have to be censored because of how Westerners and American's especially have been trained to have Pavlovian emotional outbursts to the least little thing, the situation in those countries will reset to a sustainable condition where we may be able to start again with a long term plan, thinking 3 or 4 generations into the future. Sounds harsh, but answer me this: who is going to help the good old US of A that has given so much when our troubles really kick in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
