Glasgow: India is among countries that have chosen not to register with the declaration of leaders on deforestation in 2030 on the COP26 climate summit on Tuesday, which was signed by more than 100 countries including China and Brazil.
The declaration of Glasgow leaders about forests and land use signed to stop and reverse the loss of forests and land degradation, supported by nearly 14 billion pounds of public and private funding.
According to official sources, India has several concerns around the relationship made in the last text with trading.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who officially launched the declaration on Tuesday, called it a “landmark” agreement to protect and restore the earth’s forest.
“This great ecosystem – this natural cathedral – is our planet’s lungs.
Forests support the community, livelihoods and supply of food, and absorb the carbon that we pump into the atmosphere.
They are very important for our survival,” Johnson said.
“With an unprecedented promise, we will have the opportunity to end the long history of humans as a natural conqueror, and vice versa is a guard,” he said.
The final declaration text includes transformative actions in interconnected fields with sustainable production and consumption; infrastructure development; trade; Finance and investment; and support for small farmers and local communities.
“We will strengthen our shared efforts to …
facilitate trade and development policies, internationally and domestically, which promote sustainable development, and production and consumption of sustainable commodities, which work with the mutual benefits of the country, and those who do not encourage deformed deforestation and degradation of land , “The text record refers to trade – which is likely to cause some worries on the Indian side.
This declaration will be supported by an appointment to provide 8.75 billion pounds of public finance from 12 countries, including the UK, from 2021-2025.
It will support activities in developing countries, including recovering degraded land, handling forest fires and supporting the rights of indigenous peoples.
Countries from Northern Forests of Canada and Russia to Brazilian Tropical Rainforest, Colombia, Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo support the declaration.
The British said together, they contained 85 percent of the world forest, an area of more than 13 million square miles.
England said he would conduct 1.5 billion pounds for five years to support the promise of the forest.
It will also contribute 200 million pounds, along with 11 other donors, as part of a new 1.1 billion pound fund to protect the Congo basin.
This area is home to the second largest tropical rainforest in the world which is threatened by the recording of industry, mining and agriculture.
