Position of developing nations

Increasing involvement of developing nations

Developing nations take sometimes opposite positions in the climate change negotiations. On a one side there are countries like India, Russia, China which are state that they have to increase gas emissions due to the fact of their economical growth, otherwise it could stop or even go opposite way. On other side there are countries like Ecuador or some island countries who suffer from the climate change the most, so they ask for the strong measures. There are also countries that would prefer to be in the process mainly because of subsidies, however it is very likely that they will not take any real measures to put limits on emissions.
While developing nations are very heterogeneous they have major common interests as well (e.g. fighting poverty or economical instability).

Enablers:

1. Technological growth 2. Subsidies 3. Ecological disasters because of climate changes

Inhibitors:

1. Growing oil price 2. The financial crisis 3. Rapid economic growth

Paradigms:

For developing countries it is important to have space for economical growth. At a same time due to a increasing huge amounts of CO2 emissions it is very important to have their full involvement in the climate change negotiations process.
