Climate change will change the economy

in December 2009 in Copenhagen will host UN conference on climate, the results of which should determine the development of mankind for many years to come. Future agreement in Copenhagen to replace Kyoto protocol and set the direction of the economies of developed and growing countries (the latter includes Russia), because they will take on new commitments to sustainable development.

What actually is sustainable development? The effects of climate change have a direct impact on the welfare and human health, their economic activities. Limiting greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change can not only reverse the climate impacts and reduce risks to the environment, economy and society, but also will introduce new, more sustainable approaches, technologies and practices in the business. Thus, solving the climate problem, you can make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of mankind in the future. For example, measures for linking the atmospheric carbon dioxide: if humanity halting the world's forests, restore them at least on the part of the old square, to build sustainable and high-yield forestry - it will be useful regardless of how it would slow down global warming.

global fight against climate change since 1990, when a group of UN experts on climate, in its first report highlighted the risk that human activity - particularly the consumption of coal, oil and gas - has an unprecedented and potentially very dangerous impact on the environment. As a result, signed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (1994) and the Kyoto Protocol (1997), which was defined legally binding targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions of industrialized countries. But the Kyoto Protocol will expire soon, since it determines the amount of emissions from 2008 till 2012. Therefore, 2009 is almost the last chance to reach an agreement that all countries will be able to have time to adopt and ratify at the time of the expiration of the Kyoto Protocol.

world development since the conclusion of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 shows that there is a need for a new contract. Now is not the U.S., and China emit the largest amount of greenhouse gases has increased the price of oil. This fact reminds that the use of combustible fuels is not only pollute the planet, fuel oil is also an energy source whose reserves are exhausted progressively and irreversibly. The aim of the Danish Government - the achievement of such an agreement, which would have led to a reduction in the total content of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, and it would be supported by a large number of countries.

Energy efficiency will benefit not only the Russian economy and the industry as a whole, but each and every home, every family, - said Connie Hedegord, Minister of Climate and Energy, Denmark, which met June 18 in anticipation of the December conference in Copenhagen Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko and the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller. I can say Russia has no threats to non-compliance with quantitative commitments under the climate agreement - says Danish Minister. - In spite of intensive economic growth in the 2001-2008 biennium., The overall level of greenhouse gas emissions by one third below the base of 1990. This is Russia do not have to limit ourselves to GDP growth, all of the commitments can be made through energy conservation.
