GLASGOW: COP26 is heading towards the last day without a definitive call on key issues such as climate finance and carbon markets, a grouping of 22 countries, including India – called like-minded developing countries (lmdc) — in a reference to developed countries trying to impose a 1.5-degree warming limit on Thursday protested vehemently against “carbon colonization”.
LMDC Group including India, China, Sri LankaBangladesh, Pakistan, Bolivia and Indonesia termed the move ‘carbon colonialism’. “Developed countries are pushing this narrative of 1.5°C very hard. We know that this legend will lead him to control the world once again. And countries that are not able to achieve the net zero target by 2050 will be condemned morally and economically. This is inappropriate. It’s against climate justice,” Diego said Pacheco, Bolivia’s chief negotiator, who represents the LMDC group.
He called on the presidency of the conference not to adopt a “mitigation-focused approach”, setting the 1.5°C target as the “collective responsibility” of all countries in the Glasgow Decision text, and requested that the amended “paragraph on mitigation be fully remove”. Basic lesson.
Paragraph on mitigation in the text, which is to be finalized only after consensus, on a collective effort to limit global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial (1850–1900) levels, in contrast to the target under the Paris Agreement language is included. which keeps 1.5 °C as an aspirational target and 2 °C as the upper limit.
The text calls on 196 countries to promote climate goals by 2023 to keep alive the warming limit target of 1.5 degrees Celsius and to submit their long-term decarbonization strategies on a promised net-zero trajectory by next year.
Speaking on behalf of the group at a press conference, Pacheco said, “We urge developed countries to achieve real emissions reductions immediately within this decade and by 2030. They cannot take the targets too far into the future. .. as LMDC we do not accept it COP One scenario would be to transfer the historical responsibility to the developing countries. ,
LMDC members expressed the need for higher mobilization of finance from developed countries rather than trying to change the narrative of mitigation and the ‘net zero’ target of 2050, which the group thinks, is based on the principles of equity and common but segregated responsibility. is against (CBDR) and related potentials (RCs) are contained in united nations conference and the Paris Agreement.
“We are not going to accept any change in the principle of CBDR. There should be discrimination. There should be recognition for CBDR in the negotiation process. And the ambition gap before 2020 must also be recognized. So, if we are going to accept zero zero for all countries by 2050, developing countries will be stuck with a very unjust way of addressing climate change,” Pacheco said.
