Message From Chairman
- Sheikh Ahmed Alameri
The ultimate objective of Osara Investments, its subsidiary companies and partners is to support, mobilize resources and implement the U.N. CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN, which to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations “at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic (human induced) interference with the climate system.” It states that “such a level should be achieved within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened, and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner.”
How do we know what is “dangerous anthropogenic interference”? See IPCC’s Reports
Puts the onus on developed countries to lead the way.
The idea is that, as they are the source of most past and current greenhouse gas emissions, industrialized countries are expected to do the most to cut emissions on home ground. They are called Annex I countries and belong to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). They include 12 countries with “economies in transition” from Central and Eastern Europe. Annex I countries were expected by the year 2000 to reduce emissions to 1990 levels. Many of them have taken strong action to do so, and some have already succeeded.
What compelled these countries to act? See The Kyoto Protocol
Directs new funds to climate change activities in developing countries.
Industrialized nations agree under the Convention to support climate change activities in developing countries by providing financial support for action on climate change– above and beyond any financial assistance they already provide to these countries. A system of grants and loans has been set up through the Convention and is managed by the Global Environment Facility. Industrialized countries also agree to share technology with less- advanced nations. |
