How Can Poor Nations Fight Climate Change?

Several poor nations all over the world have started getting affected by global warming. In order to counteract nature's effects, these countries are in urgent need of financial assistance from the developed world. Based on the UN reports, poor countries from the African continent and islands in the Pacific require approximately 2 billion dollars as compensation so that they can fight climate change problems.

The present need is to take immediate measures in order to combat the hazards of global warming. With the increase in frequency of droughts, floods and hurricanes in poor nations, climate change is predicted to cause more havoc in the coming years. Even though the United State has suggested developing countries to provide updates on their GSG (greenhouse gas) emissions to the United Nations on a regular basis, one can't deny the fact that the poor nations will not be able to fight such issues without any financial help. Many such countries lack the basic facilities without which it becomes difficult to realize the effects of climate change agents. There is no disaster planning, early warning system or management system for farms and crops. But with the right funding and financial help, billions of people can be saved who will otherwise die due to effects of global warming.

Recently, delegates from developed countries admitted the fact that funds will be required by poor nations to pay the bill that developed nations have contributed to with their emission. If countries like United States, United Kingdom and Russia want these nations to contribute to the cause of fighting climate change, they will have to make sure that economies of underdeveloped nations also grow. Without a strong economy, developing countries will not be able to make a difference. But what if these countries grow their economies like developed nations and add to climate change? To ensure that economic growth doesn't impact the earth's climate, investment will be required in the production of clean energy so that poor countries don't add more greenhouse gases to the environment.
