Whether the international community should immediately act to ensure that countries across the world reduce their fossil fuel emissions has been sparked widely debates. I partly agree that the international community should act because of environmental harm; however, many poor countries would not change consumption of fossil fuel due to a lack of funds.
First of all, it is consumption of fossil fuels that has a significant negative impact on the environment, causing worldwide problems such as the global warming. This is primarily because, the process of burning the fossil fuels releases harmful substances such as carbon dioxide which can increase the greenhouse effect. As a result of the releasing emissions, biodiversity in some regions would decline due to the climate change. For example, level of the ecology of the industrialized countries such as Bangladesh significantly exacerbated by negative actions of enterprises due to densely population.
Despite the urgent need to react, many poor countries cannot apply a completely new source of the energy due to a lack of alternatives. Not only can the countries not afford a change to the green energy, but they also cannot quickly develop a new energy strategy for cities. Therefore, the countries cannot immediately organize transition on the green energy sources. For example, South African Republic faces with a lack of investment, decelerating the process of transmission.
In the end, I tend to believe that the international community should emphasize on the consumption of some countries rather than setting world standards.
