The aftermath of Climate Conference at Paris brought UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon to taking the stand to speak out and encourage nations to fight global warming. The Secretary General is urging governments to set of an energy revolution to cut down on carbon emissions and stop global warming from evolving any further.
Paris Conference Solved Nothing, So Ban Ki Moon Takes Initiative
All agreements drafted during the Paris Climate Conference left all the most important issues out. Because of this, the UN has looked to take things into their own hands. Ban Ki Moon declared that the hands of the clock are turning towards climate catastrophe in a speech delivered to all world leaders. The world is expecting more from politicians than the superficial measures that have been taken so far.
Developed Countries Must Take the First Step Against Climate Changes
The mission of world leaders, beyond handling economies and politics, is to help eradicate poverty, promote clean energy and help provide jobs, opportunities and hope for future generations. Ban Ki Moon hopes ministers from around the world will do just that. This year marked the 21st Climate Conference, whose only purpose is to find solutions to the threat of global warming and climate change.
The World’s First Priority is to Find and Use Cleaner Sources of Energy
Ban Ki Moon went on to address all nations. Not only developed powers have to take on the initiative to find clean energy alternatives. While developed countries must take the lead, all other nations must follow suit to the best of their ability. He pointed out major developing countries like India are insisting on their right to use fossil fuels to develop, like Western countries did during the Industrial Revolution.
According to that logic, the West is responsible for the peaking levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It’s a very valid claim. However, it won’t help solve global warming. India has declared that it will ensure that first-world countries will pay their debt to the environment for taking advantage of it.
