Paisa Kahan Se Aayega? ???
Asal mein, UN ka Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), jismein climate change se sabse zyada maar khaane wale countries ki madad ki jaati hai, woh ek serious cash shortage se guzar raha hai. Reports keh rahi hain ki 2027 tak fund khaali ho sakta hai jab tak ki countries, khaaskar developed nations, naya paisa daalna shuru nahi karte.
Abhi tak, total pledges matlab jitna paisa promise kiya gaya hai, woh around $822 million hai. Lekin actual mein jo paisa mila hai, woh sirf $448 million hai (March 2026 tak). Yeh figures us estimated annual need se bohot kam hai, jo 2035 tak $400 billion tak pahunchne wali hai.
Socho, India jaise desh, jo already climate vulnerability mein 9th number par hai aur pichhle 30 saal mein extreme weather se nearly ₹170 billion ka nuksan jhel chuka hai, woh is funding gap ki wajah se aur bhi mushkil mein aa sakte hain.
Naye Paiso Ke Ideas Aur Politics Ki Rukawat 🚧
Iss bade gap ko bharne ke liye kuch ideas aa rahe hain. Jaise ki fossil fuel nikaalne par tax, corporate profits par tax, ya financial trades par tax. Sirf financial trades par tax se $650 billion tak har saal mil sakte hain!
Lekin, yeh sab karne mein politics ki badi rukawat hai. G20 countries ne kuch jagah transaction taxes lagaye hain, par ek global level par sabki razaamandi nahi hai. Developing countries ko 2030 tak $100 billion se zyada ki zarurat hai loss and damage ke liye, par adaptation projects ke liye abhi sirf $32.4 billion har saal mil rahe hain, jo ki $215 billion se $359 billion ki zarurat se bohot kam hai. Fund ka initial $250 million ka cap toh kuch bhi nahi hai.
Fund Ka Future Kya Hai? ❓
FRLD ki current financial situation dekh kar lagta nahi ki yeh zyada time chal payega. COP27 mein bana aur COP28 mein operational hua, lekin jo promise kiya, woh diya nahi. Developing countries keh rahe hain ki $788.68 million pledge karne ke baad bhi sirf $348 million hi available hue hain.
Activists isko dhokha keh rahe hain. Unka kehna hai ki wealthy countries ladai ke liye toh billionon nikaal lete hain, par climate crisis ke liye jeb khaali hone ka bahana banate hain. Yeh fund ek 'hollow mechanism' banne ka risk hai, jiske paas kaam karne ke liye paisa hi nahi hoga, jabki climate impacts badh rahe hain aur International Court of Justice ne bhi loss and damage finance ki duty confirm ki hai. Upar se, non-financial losses ko value karna aur funds grants ke bajaye loans ke form mein milna, yeh sab practical problems hain.
Aage Kya Hoga? 🚀
Fund Board ab Barbados Implementation Modalities ko follow karne aur naya paisa kaise manage karein, is par kaam kar raha hai. Par agar donors ne bade promises nahi kiye aur naye, bade funding methods nahi aaye, toh climate crisis se deal karne ki fund ki capacity bohot limited rahegi. Har saal hundreds of billions ki zarurat hai, aur jo pledge ho raha hai woh usse bohot kam hai. Climate adaptation investments par 10 guna tak returns mil sakte hain, par uske liye bhi paisa chahiye. Iss funding ki kami se global resilience efforts par bohot bura asar padega, khaas kar un sabse zyada vulnerable economies ke liye.
