Climate change and South Asia [1]

The Bali Action Plan shines with lots of hopes for developing countries that in two years there would be a shared vision to combat global warming. In that plan, the shared vision was portrayed as a ‘long term cooperative action” which would include a “long term global goal for emission reduction”. This implies an action taken jointly with long term goals so that rising global temperature would be far below two degree centigrade. This 20C is based on the recommendations of Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). However, according to IPCC, there is a strong likelihood that the temperature increase from prehistoric levels may overshoot 20C if drastic actions are not taken urgently. The significance of the shared vision is of utmost importance for planning any action. The ultimate objectives and principles of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) stipulate that any action taken must be in line with common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR) and respective capabilities, and respective social and economic conditions.
