At a meeting in Rio de Janeiro from 7/23 to 7/26, the Ministers of Environment of Brazil, South Africa, India and China, countries that make up the group Basic, acronym created from the first letter of each country , indicated that the lack of commitment by developed nations is a cause of the failure of negotiations on climate change.
"It will be difficult to reach a satisfactory agreement to all and the reason is the inability of developed countries to specify their economic engagement with environmental agreements," said Jairam Ramesh, Minister of Environment of India.
The Indian minister said that from the U.S. $ 30 billion pledged by developed countries in Copenhagen that were supposed to help the poorest countries immediately to combat the effects of climate change, only U.S. $ 6 billion was actually disbursed.
During the four days, experts and negotiators from the four countries discussed proposals to adopt a joint action in combating global warming, but they admitted not have advanced enough.
Equity was one of the main issues addressed by the countries of Basic, which defends the need to deal with the problem of global warming from an egalitarian perspective, which treats the developed countries as well as developing countries.
