Clear signals for technology transfer required

The fund for measures for the condition for climate change has been set up, on financing needs to be worked on

The World Climate Summit has its first night session behind. The so-called was prepared "High-level segment", in which the rising ministers and head of state take the negotiations. There are still many open points. If you can not get lost, there will be no or only a very weak Bali mandate for further climate protection negotiations at the end. A relatively high MAB to match the topics "Transfer of environmentally friendly technologies in developing and thresholders" and "MABS APPLY TO CONTRACT TO CLIMATE CHANGE" achieved.

It is clear that the technology transfer needs to be financed and organized, but the negotiations on what are stalked. While the development countries propose a new Fund Dafur, the US wants to put on an additional program within the existing demanding institutions.

From now on, it is the responsibility of the ministers, whether there is a decision on technology transfer in Bali. If you postpone this point to the next year due to the steady negotiations, other offers from emerging markers about climate protection measures could be called into question. So that Landers like Brazil, Sudafrika and China from the Bali negotiating process does not exit, the Industrial Services of the North must finally set clear signals in terms of technology transfer.

By contrast, under the supervision of the United Nations, a fund for measures must be set up for the compliance with climate change. Agreement was also achieved how the fund should be managed and supervised. From 2008 money can now come from this fund. However, unlawlessly remains the question of the amount of financial resources required and from where more could come from. The delegates will again be dealing with this topic in 2008.

It remains unclear as the after estimation of the development aid organization "Oxfam" respectively. the ANDP necessary 50 or. 86 billion dollars in the year for the progress to meet climate change. The time is urgent, because durroes, floods or storm disasters already threaten millions of people. Not only in the Far Pacific or in Africa, but surprisingly, Germany landed after a recent ten-year climate-risk index of the Muncher Reinsurance on the Rank 10 of the Lander affected by climate change. Decisive Dafur was the heater summer 2003, which in this country about 7.000 Heat Tote cost.
