Some people think that developed countries have a higher responsibility to combat climate change than developing countries. Others believe that all countries should have the same responsibilities towards protecting the environment. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Climate
variation is rapidly destroying the world economy, human life as well as natural habitation.While one view is that developed nations
should have a higher duty to fight with this
change there is also
a contrasting view that all countries
should share an equal burden to protect this
environment.In my opinion, all nations
should increase their contribution year on year in protecting our planet from the effects of climate
variation.
To begin
with, developed countries
have a lot of power at spare for protecting mankind from natural disasters. For example
, United States of America was able to increase its forest cover at a much faster pace when compared with Somalia and this
is because it has vast human and monetary resources at spare to be kept aside just for increasing forest cover. This
kind of expenditure can be possible only in a developed nation because the net per capita income of every citizen is over 2000 US Dollars and with such
great economic power comes great responsibility. Hence
developed nations
should take more accountability in protecting the world as they have a higher strength to sustain the cost required to do the same.
On the contrary
, if only a few wealthy nations
take this
burden on to their shoulders, then
some poor countries
will start to exploit this
situation for their benefit. For instance
, When developed nations
announced that they will keep only one car per family to reduce carbon emissions, there were some underdeveloped countries
which allowed some families to keep more than two cars as an added benefit. As a result
, the speed of carbon-emitting gas reduction has slowed down due to the actions of a few irresponsible states.
In conclusion, some think that developed nations
should take greater accountability in combating climate
change and others believe every nation should be equally committed to protecting our planet. In my opinion, this
environment is for everybody and everyone should take full responsibility to protect mankind. This
can be only possible when every country increases its effort to protect the planet from adverse effects of climate
change every year as proof of its commitment and only then
we have a chance to survive from this
natural man-made disaster.Submitted by kartwgl on
