Bali, Indonesia, Dec 11 (Prensa Latina)
The UN Development Program (UNDP) stated in a report in this capital
that the entity needs $86 billion to stop the advance of a segregated
adaptation to climate change. The 2007-2008 HRI document entitled "Fighting Climate
Change: Human Solidarity in a Divided World," emphasizes the extensive
differences in financing adaptation. The text warns that the world advances towards that
segregation with wealthy countries strongly investing in climate
infrastructure and the poorest ones abandoned to their fate with short
resources. The release alerts that those inequalities in the capacity to analyze climate change will strongly boost global inequalities. The annual recompilation of the UNDP Human Development group
was distributed among over 10,000 delegates from 187 countries
attending the two-week UN conference in this Indonesian island. The Convention, in its decisive phase, seeks to draw up a
route map for negotiations aimed at defining a climate accord in the
next two years, before concluding the current phase of the Kyoto
Protocol in 2012. The report's main author Kevin Watkins requests a gradual
increase of finance for adaptation and stresses the need of an annual
financing commitment of $86 billion for 2015. Watkins recognizes that those figures and human costs of
climate change are large, but asserts that the poor of the world are
not responsible for global warming.
