Public ISBD Accompagne The global environment : institutions, law and policy / Norman J. Vig Titre : Agenda 21 : myth or reality? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gary C. Bryner, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Importance : p 157-189 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : SCIENCES SOCIALES Mots-clés : AGENDA 21  POLITIQUE DE PROTECTION DE L’ENVIRONNEMENT  POLITIQUE DE DEVELOPPEMENT SOCIAL  OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE (ODA) Résumé : The Earth Summit and Agenda 21 in particular reflected the view that achieving the global agenda of environmental sustainability requires the participation of the developing countries, the South as well as the industrial nations, the North and that the North must play a major role in funding investments in sustainable development. That view is based on at least three major arguments that are central to understanding and assessing Agenda 21 and the Earth Summit itself. First, the countries of the South play a key role in accomplishing the goals of these and other global environmental accords such as the Montréal Protocol to the 1985 Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer. The southern countries are a growing source of greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting emissions and their forests play an important role in absorbing carbon dioxyde from the atmosphere. Their lands are also home to much of the world's biodiversity. Second, the North has a moral obligation to provide financial and technical assistance to the South : the North is the primary source of greenhouse and ozone-threatening gases but also has the resources to mitigate many of the effects of changes to the atmosphere; the South is less reponsible for the problem but much more likely to suffer the adverse consequences because its residents lack the resources to mitigate the effects. Industrial nations control the technology that can solve the problem but cooperation from the the developing countries is essential. Third, the interests of the North largely dominate the global environmental protection and economic development agendas; the conference at Rio and subsequent meetings have recognized that more of the interests of the South might be pursued if they are linked to the interests of the North.
