Entities who are fighting for the environment in the country argue that the seventeenth United Nations Conference held in Durban, South Africa, concluded in a manner little encouraging.

¨Los damage and effects continue, the planet is deteriorating, and made it urgent to find pathways to global real commitment to reducing emissions and support for the adjustment of LDCs to the meteorological effects extremos¨ point...

Call on developed countries separate financial support for climate change other indicted to development and to poverty alleviation. They make recommendations to politicians and Dominican entrepreneurs

out
with the conclusion on 9 December the 17th Conference of the United Nations on climate change (COP - 17), event which was held from November 28 in Durban, South Africa, institutions that forms in the country the u000aConsortium Climaccion afi confirmed that it became once more a chimera, full of bureaucratic procedures that prevented establishing liability and provide real expectations of progress in the commitments of the countries and negotiations and fair to help combat change climate.

Explained that once more the attempt failed expectations. They emphasize that the evidence of some polluting countries hamper the fight against climate change, such as China and United States among the most important milestones of the conclave. In this regard indicate that both countries are trying to renegotiate the postponement of the completion of the Kyoto Protocol, only legally binding treaty laying down obligations for developed countries for the reduction of emissions of GHG greenhouse.

Brought in the most significant findings, the urgency of finding solutions to u000aglobal emissions of carbon dioxide, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy, industry and transportation.

Another aspect which highlights Climaccion, organization composed of several entities that promote the protection of the environment and carried out in the country plans for building car and counter climate change, is the position fierce by countries such as Japan and Canada, with substantial rates of emission reduction, who left clear in the world meeting q u e Kyoto is insufi enough if not also forced to cut emissions at major polluting countries to not they are included in the Treaty, such as USA, India and China.

Findings
within the findings cited, the extension of the validity of the Kyoto Protocol to 2020, which fi nalizaba in 2012, and the inclusion of less developed countries (LDCs) in emission reduction commitments u000acarbon dioxide

They do however understand that there are many challenges to point out that the countries are faced with situations which greatly hinder the processes of negotiation of fair and equitable global agreements and do not allow progress in the search for alternatives to the preservation of life on the planet.

Institutions require that while time passes the damage and effects continue, the planet is deteriorating, and becomes urgent to find pathways to global real commitment to reducing emissions and support for the adjustment of LDCs to the effects of weather extremes.

A 17th Conference of the United Nations on climate change, Climacción understands that fi nanciamiento, in countries like the Dominican Republic, is a fundamental point that these Nations can move forward in building capacities for adaptation to change u000aclimate.

Argue that the international community cannot, under any circumstances, considered the resources of the cooperation for development and poverty as a source for this fi nanciamiento. ¨Este fi nanciamiento, the Green Fund, as he has been called since last year at the COP-16, held in Cancún, Mexico, must be independent of any other related to development and the pobreza¨, indicated.

Otherwise they point out that it would be limiting the development of those countries, and at the same time increasing levels of poverty, and damage environmental.

Precise Climacción the obtaining of new sources of funding is hampered by the crisis in l I countries developed.

Demands in Dominican Republic
at the national level and in the wake of the international conclave, Climaccion makes a series of recommendations and exhortations to politicians and Dominican entrepreneurs so that they may believe in the u000agreen economy, eficientizando production processes and potentializing development sustainable.

In this regard requested the creation of policy and institutional framework for solid that managed funding for adaptation, technology transfer and the promotion of education, formal and informal. Equally, they demand the preparation of a national strategy for adaptation to climate change. This plan should be seen as one of the pillars of capacity building and knowledge transfer. Another aspect which recommend is that within the national development strategy, is privilege actions aimed at making more efficient production processes and to ensure the sustainability of the main sectors of the Dominican economy, such as energy, solid waste, tourism, construction, transport, fuel, education, agriculture, and reforestation.

In the same way, privilege the actions of prevention and u000areducing vulnerability of the poorest areas of country
