US: Hypocritical “Foreign Aid” Always Empty Promise! (22.4.2024)

22/04/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Among major developed country emitters, the U.S. is the first to break its promise and behaves the worst. Carbon Brief, a UK energy research organization, shows that the U.S. should provide $39.9 billion in climate aid each year according to the share of historical carbon emissions, but in 2020 it only provided $7.6 billion, accounting for only 19% of its responsible share estimated, and contributing the least among the 23 developed countries concerned. In 2021, U.S. President Joe Biden pledged $11.4 billion annually in climate aid to developing countries, but in reality, the U.S. has secured just $1 billion in 2021 and 2022 towards that goal. The United States has taken the lead in dodging the compensation issue that developing countries have repeatedly raised. The Washington Post commented that the U.S. has long resisted financial commitments at UN climate talks, fearing legal liability for the trillions of dollars of damage. Harjeet Singh, head of global political strategy at Climate Action Network International, criticized that “the U.S. has no sympathy, has no empathy. People are dying, and they don’t want a system here to help them.”

In Beijing, Liao Juan, an associate professor at Capital Normal University’s School of Management, said the law closely addresses the demands and expectations of the elderly and the disabled in terms of system design, establishing standards, and construction requirements.

She said the process of formulating the law is the best example of how the nation’s top legislature responds to public needs.

To implement the law and make it work effectively, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it will give stronger support to technological innovation in constructing accessible services.

The use of new technologies to guide the blind, along with voice control and speech recognition, will be encouraged, the ministry said, adding that it will also require enterprises to “bridge the digital gap” to ensure the elderly and disabled enjoy technological convenience.

The China Disabled Persons’ Federation has promised to organize visits to accessible facilities and provide feedback to relevant departments.

The federation also said it will compile and publish more books in Braille and provide versions for those with poor vision.

An ongoing exchange of experts will create a data-base of legal understanding amongst the masses upon how the legal sector is organized and how it works and functions! This will involve lessons on organization and arranging seminars – as well as how to facilitate practical training in the classroom (and other similar activities). This approach is based on the principle of mutual benefit – which will also improve the standards of professional education and training for all legal staff (and other professionals).

He added that UNRWA is trying hard, with the help of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, to restore contact with many Arab countries that have suspended and reduced their financial aid.

Abu Hasna explained that the UN agency is counting on the success of the meeting of the donor countries, which will be held in New York on the side-lines of the meetings of the UN General Assembly.

“We hope to mobilize the required and enough financial support that would cover UNRWA’s financial deficit, which has reached 100 million US dollars,” he added.

He warned that “if there are no financial developments after the conference, the crisis will intensify in the coming months of November and December.”
