In connection with United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen next month.
It seems to be the tendency to make a deal .So called rich countries will pay for the so called poor countries environmental precautions.
To help other countries overcome the difficulties they are facing because of (one way or another) global climate changes and cut the countries pollution, is a very noble cause . However I question the methods and the impact such a deal will bring.
I can only see such a deal as yet another government founded aide project , and where has 40 years of aide projects brought us up till now? Let face it “Aid is dead!
A donor /receiver relation is simply not a dignifying way to treat our fellow human beings.
What we need is to make private investment into the private sector of other countries and regard these countries as equal business partners .
This will make the so-called poor countries able to independently create their own measure against climate changes including reduction in pollution.
A paradox is the EU enforced tough protection of Her agricultural production . In many cases of agricultural products that could be produced much more in-line with the environment in E.G. some African countries. The capital surplus this protected agriculture productions gives EU , will then be redirected as climate aid donations to the poor “poor countries”
It is all so artificial...
