COP- Cacophony of Promises
G 20 in Rome laid the pretext for the Glasgow Environment Summit- the COP. Both felt short of the expectations is an understatement. Were there greater hopes from the leadership of the world especially those of G20 that take the carbon credit of polluting nearly 80% through emissions- yes indeed! Most of them are also the ones that possess the means to address the challenges of Climate Change? They are the ones who are rich and can provide the finances. They also have the technologies to make the world Green yet again. But they are lacking the will to share those as a global Good. Leader after leader did not lack in using high-sounding adjectives to highlight the plight of the world. That we are digging our own graves is a given. But we are also digging it for posterity.
