The conflict between Global North and Global South about the solutions for environmental problems creates much difficulty in dealing with environmental issues. Prepare a short note about different views of Global North and Global South.

Answer»

Global North (Countries of the Northern Hemisphere) represents the developed nations. The Global South represents the developing nations. The approach of both these groups regarding environment is very different. 

They are:

  • The Global North says that ail countries are equally responsible for the protection of the environment. 
  • But the Global South has a different view. They say that it is the industrial development of the Global North that caused and is causing the environmental damage.
  • Developing nations are on the path of progress. Therefore the restrictions placed on the developed nations should not be made binding on the developing nations. The developing nations say that keeping their needs in mind, there should be new laws and interpretations. This argument was approved in the Earth Summit on 1992. This new principle is called “Common but different responsibility”.
