"Commitments should be fulfilled" - "Live voice" of the United Nations Climate Change Conference

2022-11-09

"In 2009, developed countries promised to provide US $100 billion annually to tackle climate change. Now it is 2022, and they still haven't fulfilled it!" "If it is a promise, it should be fulfilled!" The 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) is being held in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. It coincides with the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Representatives of all countries are discussing climate issues at the shore of the Red Sea that affect the future destiny of mankind. Emphasize the urgency of climate financing, urge developed countries to fulfill their financing commitments as soon as possible, and become the "live voice" of the Conference. "The reason why developed countries have not fulfilled their financing commitment of 100 billion US dollars is that they have not really understood the importance and urgency of tackling climate change and have placed the pursuit of economic development at a higher priority." Naz Baluchistan, a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan and secretary of the National Assembly Secretariat in charge of climate change affairs, said, "If it is a commitment, it should be fulfilled. Developed countries should make up for it and avoid it being too late. Pakistan has suffered from floods affected by climate change this year. We are well aware of its pain, and we must act together." "We need 100 billion dollars to save our rainforest!" The Alliance of Rainforest Countries, which is composed of African and South American rainforest countries, printed this slogan in the most striking position of its pavilion, attracting participants from all countries to stop and stay. Kevin Conrad, Executive Director of the Alliance of Rainforest Countries, said: "In order to escape the US $100 billion climate financing, western countries have made many excuses, but they spend trillions of dollars on other matters every year. It is clear that they just don't want to invest in addressing climate change. US $100 billion is far from enough. According to our estimates, we need US $400 billion each year to deal with the climate problems facing rainforests alone, but the US $100 billion promised by western countries has not yet been implemented." Multi country pavilions vividly demonstrate to visitors the funding gap facing climate change through artificial intelligence, digital imaging and other visualization technologies. Satiyendra Prasad, Permanent Representative of Fiji to the United Nations, said: "The impact of climate change on Pacific island countries is self-evident. The US $100 billion climate financing must not only be implemented as soon as possible, but also ensure its accessibility and fairness in distribution. Fiji is faced with the dual threat of natural disasters caused by sea level rise and climate change. In the past few years, we have received only one tenth of the funds needed to address climate issues, and the pace of implementing climate financing must be accelerated." "Climate finance is the pillar of tackling climate change. If climate finance is not in place, human progress towards the goal of tackling climate change will be hindered. The international community should actively seek incentive mechanisms to promote climate finance." Said Mazan Ramji, CEO of Oman Energy Development Agency. (Liu Xinshe)
