Group Discussion on Bali Conference
Swadeshi Vichar Kendra organized a group discussion on climate change and Bali Conference in New Delhi on December 22, under the chairmanship of Shri Swadesh Sharma Reader English Department Delhi University. Several important people from different fields of life participated in the enlightening discussion.
Climate change and its effect on planet earth has become an important topic of discussion and have caused sufficient concern all over the world. Governments as well as international bodies are worried and are engaged in finding the solution to the one of the worst kind of challenges human kind has ever faced. Bali conference on Climate Change was the result of this increased concern over the issue and urgency to find solutions.
Swadeshi Vichar Kendra is regularly inviting intellectuals, professional and experts on various issues of vital importance to have some exchange of views and sharing of information.
Recently concluded Bali conference once again demonstrated the difference of opinion and clash of interests between different nation states. Even though a vague deal was signed in Bali it was clear that the humanity was still far away from any consensus approach to the issue of such importance as threatens the very existence of world.
Discussion in this background was enriching and stimulating. Almost all aspects of the issue including the politics behind global warming were discussed. There was consensus on following:
a) Global warming and climate change is a reality that is being felt in routine normal life.
b) Developed world, particularly USA is primarily responsible for the degradation of environment.
c) West that was not ready to accept the issue as a problem has taken notice of it only after it started feeling the heat of climate change.
d) Positive aspects of Bali include acceptance of issue as a serious threat and urgency to act before it is too late.
e) USA, Canada and Japan isolated for their stubborn stand.
f) Negotiations will take at a brisk pace now onwards and India should make proper preparations for these negotiations.
g) Attempt should be made to take US on board and in case that country refuses to join international community must explore punitive measures against it.
h) Indian people being aware of the cyclic phenomenon of ‘Pralaya’ should not feel unnecessarily over concerned on the issue.
i) India shall utilise this opportunity to strengthen its position in every respect.
