Coronavirus recovery plan 'must fight climate change"

Feb 16,2020 9:32 am

addressing Climate Change needs to be woven, in The Solution of the Covid-19 the economic Crisis , say the UK, the governments of the next week.

environment Ministers from 30 countries meet in a two-day online conference in an attempt to progress in the reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions.

The collection is called "Petersberg climate dialogue".

they focus on How To organize a "green" economic recovery after the acute phase of the pandemic is over.

The Other goal of the forge is international agreement on ambitious carbon cuts, despite The Postponement of the crucial meeting COP26 - previously planned for Glasgow in November (without date).

Alok Sharma , the UK Climate Secretary, and President of the COP26, said: "I Am committed to, the global climate ambition, so that we can deliver on the Paris Convention (for the stabilization of the temperature increase well below 2C).

"The World needs to work together, How To support it with the Corona-Virus-pandemic, a green and resilient recovery that leaves No One behind.

"On the Petersberg climate dialogue, we come together to discuss how we turn ambition into real action. "

The informal conference is organised jointly by the UK and Germany.

industrial and developing countries will participate, together with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres , and members of the civil society and the economy. Last week, António Guterres, has warned that the climate was changing.

campaign groups are skeptical of The Meeting . Since the Paris deal, the CO2 emissions actually increase - although there is currently a dent in the trend, thanks to the Covid recession.

The development of the Charity Care says it is alarmed that the public financing from rich countries to developing countries for adaptation to unavoidable Climate Change has actually decreased in the year 2018.

Sven Harmeling, from CARE, said: "If the governments does not cause its economic stimulus for sustainable and equitable, they are driving Our Planet much deeper in the existential economic, social and environmental turbulence, due to the climate Crisis . "

The EU is already set, to the provision of a green stimulus. The Commission 's Green Deal-in-chief, Frans Timmermans , said that every euro spent on economic recovery measures after the COVID-19 Crisis would be in connection with The Green and digital transitions.

"The European Green Deal" strategy, a growth and a winning strategy," he tweeted.

"It's not a luxury that we fall, if we are to further Crisis . It is important for The Future of Europe.

Meanwhile, China seems to be on its current carbon-intensive path of development, and President of the Trump says that the US is going to save fighting fossil fuel companies.

Even in Europe there is a certain amount of push-back against the idea of a green stimulus.

Markus Pieper , member of the European Parliament from the centre-right CDU party, told the magazine FOCUS that the EU would no longer be the far-reaching plan for investing in clean technologies.

He Said : "The Green Deal was a huge challenge for the economy in top shape. According to the corona-bloodletting, it simply is not economically viable. "

But the British climate economist Lord Stern told Bbc News : "The immediate priority, the current Covid Crisis But then we need to build for The Future .

"Timmermans is the right and Trump is wrong. We should only rescue companies that help to cope with Climate Change .

"you don't have to be said to be a clean-tech company at The Moment But you must be committed to cut their emissions In Line with the international targets. "
