Excerpt from the Blog by Late Dr. Rajendra Pachauri in January 2020:
"The COP 25 held in Madrid has been a major disappointment. The failure of this historic international event comes at a time when the world is facing critical decisions to limit the risks associated with the impacts of climate change."
…
…
“The time has come to find an alternative approach. Connor Spreng and Daniel Spreng have come up with an interesting approach which favours transnational actions rather than state-led international commitments to deal with the problem. Transnational policies typically imply cutting across traditional state sovereignty based approaches and operate across public and private divides and seek to develop innovative approaches to solving international problems. Moreover, at the regional level, the vision which is emerging from the EU seems worthy of emulation in other parts of the world, even though there may be conflicts and major differences among countries within a particular region and a lack of institutional mechanisms by which a regional plan like the EU can be formulated and adopted.”
“Perhaps the time has come for those justifiably concerned about the current process to support a very different structure and completely different system by which the world can support reducing its emissions, beginning with peaking at the earliest, if not by 2020. The science of climate change compels us to do so. The future of our children and grandchildren makes it a moral imperative for us to come up with a refreshing and totally different approach before COP 26 is held. In this space an alternative approach will be presented very soon. But perhaps before that the children who are protesting all over the world should highlight the abysmal failure of the UNFCCC and the terrible let down that COP 25 has proven to be like all the COPs before this. They must reveal the truth that the emperor is wearing no clothes. After all, in Hans Christian Anderson’s true to life story it was a child who spoke the truth in contradiction to the spineless toadies who regard themselves as adults.”
