Rich countries urged to do more over climate change
In a statement at the ongoing UN climate conference in Durban, the IUCN said that governments of various nations in the world play an important role in coping with climate change and that developed nations in particular need to shoulder more responsibility.
National governments worldwide need to take emergency actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions and make these actions part of a binding agreement, it said.
According to documents released by the IUCN at the conference, the current global challenge is to find sustainable ways to manage and exploit natural resources.
An ecosystem-based solution is an economically efficient one without any negative effect, the IUCN said.
The IUCN suggested that national governments and investors worldwide create natural reserves to preserve ecosystems and biological diversity; Kazinform cites China Daily.
