What will happen if economies come back on track after Corona lockdown

In the next meeting for the 'Petersburg Climate Dialogue', which is to be held from 28 April, it is expected that the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic will definitely be discussed.

The question of climate change must be included in the options on which to address the economic crisis.

In this two-day online conference, the environment ministers of 30 countries will talk towards moving the proposal to cut greenhouse gases emissions.

In the agenda of the meeting, the focus will be on how to balance the environment in the steps being taken to bring the economies back on track after the epidemic ends.

Another objective of this is to prepare an agreement on an international agreement on the ambitious plan to reduce the consumption of carbon fuel.

Paris Agreement

However, the important conference of COP26 scheduled in Glasgow was postponed on the same issue last November and a new date has not been announced since then.

President of the conference COP26 and UK Environment Minister Alok Sharma says, "We are intent on raising the target on climate change so as to meet the Paris Agreement (the goal of keeping the temperature rise constant below two degrees Celsius)" . "

"The world must work together because it has to compete with the corona virus epidemic. So that when life comes back on track, it can take care of the environment, in which no one is left behind. We all talk together on the Petersburg Climate Dialogue. How dreams are realized on the ground. "

Britain and Germany are going to jointly host 'Petersburg Climate Dialogue'. Developed countries as well as developing countries are participating in this online conference.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, civil society and business people will also get a chance to speak at the conference.

Climate change

Last week, Antonio Guterres warned that the issue of climate change is much bigger than the corona virus.

Many campaign groups are skeptical about this meeting. In fact, carbon dioxide (CO2) gas levels have been rising ever since the Paris Agreement to cut carbon emissions.

However, due to the epidemic of Covid-19, it has been recorded for the time being.

"We have warned that the financial support to the developing countries from the rich countries regarding climate change was actually reduced in the year 2018," says CARE, a non-governmental organization working for environment and development. Developing countries are given this help so that they can adapt themselves to the changes in the environment. "

Sven Harmeling, associated with 'CARE', says, "If governments fail to sustain and justify their economic support for a long time, then they stand on the verge of ruining our earth economically, socially and environmentally We will do it where our existence will be in danger and this situation will arise due to environmental crisis. "

The European Union

The European Union has already prepared an economic package for the protection of the environment. Franz Timmermans, who oversees this economic package in the European Union, says that every euro spent to bring the economy back on track will be linked to environmental and digital change after the Covid-19 epidemic ends.

In the European Union, this economic package is being called the Green Deal. Franz Timmermans says, "Europe's green deal is a development strategy and we will succeed in it. When the next crisis comes, we will not be in a position to leave it. This is necessary for the future of Europe."

Meanwhile, looking at China, it seems that due to the tremendous consumption of carbon fuel, it will continue to accelerate its growth engine, while President Trump has said that America will save the struggling oil companies. Even in Europe, the situation of kashmaksh can be felt in some countries regarding the economic package related to environment.

Corona virus

Markus Piper, leader of Germany's moderate right-wing CDU party, says that the EU's plan to invest in environment-promoting technology is unlikely for the long term.

Marcus Piper says, "The green deal was a big challenge for an economy at the top. The damage caused by the corona virus has not left it economically viable."

But Britain's environmentalist economist Lord Stern says, "The immediate priority is to deal with the current epidemic of Covid-19. Then we have to build the future. Franz Timmerman is right and Trump is wrong. The only companies we have Who are going to do their part in tackling the problem of climate change. "

"These companies are not necessarily the only companies that do not harm the environment at the moment. But these companies will have to contribute to the efforts to cut carbon emissions as per international targets."
