The problem of global warming is a new one of the most important factors of modern globalization and should be solved in international, global connection.

The above question inspired me to the following considerations:

Do you think international cooperation should increase to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on Earth?

In December 2018, the United Nations climate summit in Katowice took place in Katowice. COP (Conference of the Parties) on climate policy on Earth. UN climate summits, i.e. COP (Conference of the Parties) are global conferences during which climate policy actions are negotiated. Poland twice hosted them - in 2008 in Poznań and in 2013 in Warsaw. In December 2018, the climate summit is held for the first time now in Katowice in Poland.

During this summit, conferences are held, discussions are held on the need to develop a sustainable development policy and the need for development of ecological, renewable energy sources in order to generate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the future and ultimately reduce the average annual temperature rise on the Earth's surface. From the discussions it follows that it is necessary to develop eco-innovations, new pro-ecological energy sources, development of electromobility of transport means. It is necessary to develop and implement on a large scale renewable energy sources. In addition, it is important to increase the scale of afforestation, as forests and the flora contained in them absorb a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.

As part of this year's UN Climate Summit, the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP24), 14th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 14) and the Conference of the Paris Agreement signatories (CMA 1) are held. About 20,000 people from 190 countries participate in the event, including politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and scientific and business spheres.

Perhaps during this UN climate summit important and specific agreements, declarations and signed agreements on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will be taken. The present lectures show that in recent years the warming process of the Earth's climate has accelerated significantly and therefore, in the black scenario of future climate changes, the temperature on the Earth's surface can rise by 4 ° C to the end of the 21st century. If this happened, then the scale of climate-related cataclysms that are dangerous to humans, including droughts, floods, fires and weather anomalies in many places around the world, will increase many times. The problem is very serious globally and therefore a lot depends on whether international cooperation will develop in order to limit these problems and their negative effects.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Should you think that international cooperation should increase to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on Earth? In addition, another key question arises: how much of this international cooperation is possible, to what extent will real and effective measures be undertaken on the basis of the discussions and declarations undertaken to reduce greenhouse gases?

The report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that greenhouse gas levels on the globe are the highest in 800,000 years. Further emission, which arises according to the authors of the report mainly due to the combustion of fossil fuels, will lead to climate changes, which will be the greater, the more intensive will be the release of gases into the atmosphere. The report is a synthesis of earlier findings of the IPCC.

The conducted prognostic analyzes show that if the industrial development proceeds in the same way as before, i.e. without the implementation of eco-innovations, without reducing greenhouse gas emissions, etc. there is a risk that by 2050 the average temperature on the Earth's surface may increase by another one degrees ° C. It would have been an increase in the average temperature on the surface of the Earth from the end of the first industrial revolution, from the beginning of the 20th century by two degrees ° C. Then the pace of climate change will increase so much that the global warming process can escape any control and then the person will not be able to stop or significantly slow down this process. In such a dark scenario, the average temperature on the surface of the Earth until the end of the twenty-first century may increase by as much as four degrees ° C. Then it will be several times the increase of any negative external effects of climate change on the current state. Slak of emerging climatic cataclysms, including tornadoes, droughts, volcanic eruptions, melting of glaciers in chains of mountain peaks and in the arctic circle region at the Arctic will significantly accelerate. The melting of eternal decay in the Arctic region will release further millions of tons of methane and the greenhouse effect will accelerate even further and in the XXII century an increase in the average temperature on the Earth's surface can achieve a geometric pace. Then it will be a disaster not only for human civilization but also for a large part of life forms on Earth. Pradoxically, man as a rational, intelligent being who, evolutionarily gained an advantage over all other forms of life on Earth and subordinated the whole planet to itself, may lead to self-destruction. Or maybe it is not too late to implement a new eco-friendly economy to at least try to stop greenhouse gas emissions and reverse unfavorable global warming processes? It is therefore necessary to promote and implement the principles of sustainable development within the framework of the new green economy.

Please, answer the following questions:

What next with the global warming of the Earth's climate?

In addition, I note the interesting discussion inspired me to the following considerations:

What pro-ecological activities can and should be implemented by the World Bank to inspire and effectively act on the issue of the sustainable pro-ecological development of the World?

According to the announcement of the President of the World Bank, from 2020 on, the expenditure on pro-ecological activities will be double.

Among other things, the World Bank will allocate USD 100 billion for investments in the public sector and additional USD billion for pro-ecological projects on various topics that are supposed to implement and inspire changes in the new green economy to ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions on Earth and to slow down increase in average temperature on the Earth's surface.

However, what specific pro-ecological investments should be implemented in order to achieve the intended results? How should those pro-ecological projects be run and in which topics, eg renewable energy sources, creation and implementation of ecological innovations, technologies and pro-ecological materials, etc.?

Should richer countries support poorer countries in the development of environment-friendly technologies?

In my opinion, renewable energy sources should be developed on the basis of various pro-ecological technologies and ecological innovations. Which technological solutions will be developed in particular countries depends on many factors, ie determinants according to which individual countries differ in terms of production potential, development of specific industries, equipment in particular production factors and financial possibilities. Rich countries characterized by higher incomes should support the development of pro-ecological technologies in poorer countries characterized by lower incomes. International cooperation in this area should be resolved.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Should richer countries support poorer countries in the development of environment-friendly technologies?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

How should the financing of the development of environment-friendly technologies be developed?

In my opinion, in the future the most important proecological technologies that should be improved and implemented are renewable energy technologies based on solar energy. Solar power plants should be developed. Commercial banks should provide loans for these purposes. However, in order for commercial financing programs to develop, the role of the State as potentially the main subject of financing large pro-ecological energy projects is also important. Similarly with nuclear energy, which is so very expensive to build, that without financial support from state finances, it would often not be possible to build a nuclear power plant.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: How should the financing of the development of environment-friendly technologies be developed?

Should international cooperation be developed to solve problems related to the global warming?

In order to solve the problems related to the global warming of the Earth's climate, international cooperation should develop to develop a common global strategy of pro-ecological activities and sustainable development of the new green economy.
