COP 19: 133 developing countries abandon negotiations due to bureaucracy of the developed countries
About 133 representatives of developing countries have abandoned the negotiations on climate change COP 19, held in Warsaw. On the basis of the withdrawal is the fact that the developed countries refuse to discuss the compensation to be granted to developing nations, by climate change caused by industrialized nations.Most of the European Union (EU) countries and Nations like the United States, Canada, Australia just want to discuss the compensation at the next Summit, scheduled for 2015 in Paris. In response the G77 and China Group withdrew from the negotiations.Seleemul Huq, the scientist whose work on losses and damages developing countries helped put the question of compensation in the COP agenda 19, said that "negotiations were proceeding well, in a spirit of cooperation, but at the end of the session on losses and damage to Australia put everything that was agreed in brackets, so that the whole debate was wasted"quotes The Guardian.Developing countries demanded the creation of a new United Nations institution to oversee the allocation of compensation, but the developed countries do not have considered the request, ignoring the requests for a serious debate on the issue."The EU believes that the issue is incredibly important for developing countries. But they must be taken care of when it comes to creating a new institution. That's not what this process needs, "said the European Commissioner for climate Connie Hedegaard. "We can't have an automatic compensation system for when serious events occur in the world. This is not feasible, "the Commissioner stressed.In this way, the debate on compensation was refused by the developed countries, who fear that such a system would lead to unacceptable costs.Photo: Gili Islands, Indonesia.
