Enigin - Rich Nations To Hand Over $10 billion Funding Aid To Poor Countries

Enigin - Rich Nations To Hand Over $10 billion Funding Aid To Poor Countries

The group known as BASIC, composed of Brazil, South Africa, India, and China, has urged developed nations to quickly start distributing the $10 billion pledged in Copenhagen, aimed to help poorer countries adapt to the effects of climate change.

With a share of this funding initiative, poor countries would be able to invest in energy saving technology as a means of combating the effects of climate change.

Energy efficiency measures, which companies like Enigin PLC can provide across the globe, can give a nation the possibility to reduce its impact on the environment by reducing harmful emissions, generated by sourcing energy.

With Enigin solutions, businesses drastically reduce their energy consumption, in turn reducing their carbon output and their energy bills, which is what developing countries need to do in order to adapt to climate change impacts.

Enigin offer a wide range of products for all the basic needs in lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration and motor driven production facilities.

The funding aid that richer nations will soon be handing over to poorer countries is going to help them implement necessary measures in order to tackle global warming side effects.

Least developed countries, including small islands states and African countries, should be the first to receive their share of the funding aid, according to China's top climate change negociator, Xie Zhenhua, following a meeting of the BASIC representatives in New Delhi.

The 4 developing world giants took the opportunity to announce that they would be submitting their detailed plans to tackle climate change to the UN later this week.

During the Copenhagen climate summit last month, developed countries had hoped that the new accord would impose emissions cuts on both rich and poor nations, to replace the Kyoto Protocol which only demanded emissions cuts from rich nations.

However, the agreement known as the Copenhagen accord - a deal made between the US and BASIC - only requires poor countries to make voluntary actions by January 31st, This deadline has since been extended.

South Africa’s Environment Minister, Buyelwa Sonjica, comments: “We have the obligation to be the first to submit the action plans."

China, the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has already said it would cut its “carbon intensity’’ - a measure of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of production - by 40-45% by 2020, from 2005 levels. India, the 5th largest polluter, said it cut its carbon intensity by 20-25% by 2020.
