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.
