‘Carbon colonialism’: India, China among nations to reject first draft

The SVA developing country group, including India and China, rejected the first draft of the expected agreement of the Glasgow Climate Conference and requested changes to the entire section on strengthening mitigation actions. Less than two days before the meeting officially ended, this self-proclaimed like-minded developing countries (LMDCs), including Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries, accused the developed countries of trying to transfer responsibility to other parts of the world. And tried to impose new rules.

Bolivia’s chief negotiator, Diego Pacheco, spoke on behalf of the LMDC Group on Thursday, calling it “new carbon colonialism” and saying that the 2050 net zero goal is “forcing” developing countries to ignore the historical responsibilities of developed countries and the United Nations. The principles of fairness and common but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR) contained in the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

“If we are to accept net zero by 2050 for all countries, then developing countries will fall into a very unfair way of dealing with climate change. That’s because only developed countries have the financial capacity to achieve this goal. And technological capabilities.

As developing countries, we will be trapped in this narrative because we will never be able to achieve the goals they set for the world. Those countries that fail to achieve the net zero goal will be morally and economically condemned. This is unfair and contrary to climate justice,” Pacheco said at a press conference.
