\"Scotland<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

The Scottish government has presented in a parliamentary debate\u00a0an initiative\u00a0called Climate Justice Fund to help some of the world\u2019s poorest communities tackle the impact of climate change.<\/h1>\n

The Climate justice fund launched in Edinborough<\/span>, will pay the money in equal instalments over the next three years to support water projects among things in Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania\u00a0and Zambia<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex Salmond, the Scottish first minister\u00a0and\u00a0Mary Robinson – the former Republic of Ireland president proclaimed\u00a0the scheme, which provides new funding rather than drawing on Scotland’s existing overseas aid budget. Both called on rich nations to decrise carbon emissions, arguing that the developing world bears the brunt of flooding, drought and other natural disasters, despite doing little to cause such events.<\/p>\n

The Scottish first minister\u00a0Alex Salmond officially told that the huge injustice of climate change is that it is those who have done the least to cause the problem \u2013 the most vulnerable, from the world’s poorest communities \u2013 who are hardest hit. That is why Scotland is committed to supporting climate justice.” He added also that they\u00a0are all too aware that one country, for example Malawi or Tanzania cannot win the battle against climate change alone. He stated : “Collective action is not an option but an imperative, and we need to ensure our actions and our message inspires others to act.”<\/p>\n

Scotland is delivering on commitments to build the resilience of the world’s poorest communities to the impacts of climate change. Very important thing is that delivering these commitments builds trust between developed and developing countries, who need to work together to solve the problem of climate change.<\/p>\n

The Scottish minister\u00a0for environment and climate change,\u00a0Stewart Stevenson praised Mary Robinson’s galvanising influence on the initiative and spelled out the underlying logic. He also explained : “We got the benefit of being able to emit greenhouse gases over a very long period of time, and that’s underpinned out economic success today, but the people who pay the price for that set of emissions are people who’ve gained nothing from that industrialisation, so the justice is that we who have benefited should now support those who are suffering the effects of climate change.”<\/p>\n\n
