African delegates are working to block the last round of climate change talks in Barcelona on the eve of the Copenhagen conference. The Africans delegates represent 50 African countries that have stated the need for richer, more powerful nations to agree to work harder towards environmental policies such as greenhouse gas reduction.
Several nations have already pledges cuts that extend as high as 25%. The European Union could go as high as 30% depending on the involvement of other countries. Yet these pledges are not high enough for the African countries.
"For the African group...we are asking developed countries to commit themselves to at least 40 percent. That is the African position. There are LDCs and others that are asking for at least 45 percent. And we are just trying to defend this position," Kamel Djemouai, who represents Algeria explained at a news conference.
In recent years, the high oil price has taxed jobs word-wide, therefore job creation via developing sustainable resources is considered to be imperative, which might be a final focus of this great recession.
If the sustainable energy policy works against employment, EU should be suffering from the highest jobless rate by now, but the reality is the other way round.
Thankfully and interestingly enough, 100s of Companies (with $13 Trillion) Are Demanding Strong Climate Deal in Copenhagen just like environmental activists, and a coalition of more than 500 Global Businesses is also demanding ambitious new climate deal.
