ES&T 11/97 Nations Seek "Fair Greenhouse Gas Treaty in Kyoto In addition to admitting that most of the greenhouse gases have been generated by sources in industrialized nations, participants at the Rio convention realized that the increase in fossil fuel use in developing nations is tied to fulfilling basic human needs, said Reid. "In developing nations, they are saying, 'We didn't create the problem, and if those nations that did don't take steps to reduce their emissions, then we aren't going to play.' That is the level of debate that is going on there," said Reid. The leaders of developing nations, including coal-rich China and Korea as well as Brazil, India, and Mexico, argue that the first step toward controlling emissions globally should be made by those nations that have created the problem. pubs.acs.org /hotartcl/est/97/nov/nations.html

The Globalist Global Economy -- The Return of the “Giant Sucking Sound”? The bottom line is this: Contrary to the warnings of Ross Perot, we should not think of the developing nations as simply sources of global supply while failing to recognize their potential role as a source of global demand. The developing nations shifted from being a source of global supply — that is, net exporters — in the 1980s to a source of global demand — that is, net importers — in the 1990s. Indeed, soaring import demand from the developing nations was key to softening the blow of recession in both the United States and Europe in the early 1990s. www.theglobalist.com /DBWeb/printStoryId.aspx?StoryId=3502

[SafeClimate] Library Government and Policy A History of Climate Change Negotiations Nevertheless, these steps forward were opposed by some powerful members of the developing country bloc, which consider it the moral duty of industrialized nations to begin by reducing their emissions at home rather than engaging in international emissions trading and pushing for limits on developing countries. Within the G77 group, which includes the developing nations, the Latin American countries seemed to realize that agreeing to emissions limitations may work to their advantage, by bringing in additional revenue and increased investment to their economies as an active market in emissions trading is established. At COP-1 in Berlin, Germany, in March 1995, the participating nations issued the so-called Berlin Mandate, which acknowledged that the voluntary approach had failed and agreed that there would have to be binding commitments by the industrialized countries to reduce their emissions of heat-trapping gases sometime after the year 2000. www.safeclimate.net /newsandlibrary/article_detail.php?id=21

Industrialized Nations Under Pressure at UN Global Warming Gathering -- 10/26/1999 Officials from the U.S. and European Union countries differed Monday on one of several "flexibility mechanisms" built into the process - the right of industrialized nations to buy pollution "credits" from developing countries. Controversially, the Kyoto Protocol makes no demands on most of the countries of the world, which are defined as "developing," but include such rapidly industrializing countries as China. The U.S. Department of Energy has reported that the process of reducing emissions could prompt energy-intensive industries in developed countries to relocate to developing ones, at the cost of thousands of jobs at home. www.cnsnews.com /ViewPrint.asp?Page=\Enviro\archive\ENV19991026a.html

Refuting objections to a Global Rural Network (GRNet) for developing nations One of the hopes for networking in developing nations is that by bringing education, health care, news, entertainment, contact with the outside, employment, etc. to rural areas, the quality of life may rise to a point where migration to crowded cities will be diminished. Anyone with experience in developing nations is justifiably skeptical of government projects; however, IPTO decisions were not made by government bureaucrats, but by visionary faculty members from universities who were brought in for temporary assignments. Developing nations cannot afford high–speed connectivity — low–cost store–and–forward technology is more appropriate technology for a poor, developing nation. www.firstmonday.org /issues/issue9_8/press

GENERAL AGREEMENT ON TRADE IN SERVICES Most developing countries are not in a position to benefit from the commercial presence mode of supply, given the high cost of establishment in developed countries and the weaknesses of the developing countries' firms in terms of financial and human capital and access to distribution networks and information channels and technology. The most- favoured- nation treatment (MFN) is a general obligation applying to all services sectors and one of the most important pillars for achieving trade liberalization in the multilateral trading system. With respect to sectors of particular interest to developing countries, most of which require the movement of persons other than specialists, executives and managers, such as tourism-related services, construction and engineering, business services, health-related services and maritime transport, it should be noted that they are included in the commitments of the developed countries examined. www.southcentre.org /publications/gats/gats-04.htm   (4312 words)

INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS WILL FAIL IN EFFORTS TO KEEP GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AT ACCEPTABLE LEVELS BY 2015, SECOND COMMITTEE TOLD Efforts by industrialized nations to keep greenhouse gas emissions at an acceptable level would fall short by 2015, when developing-country emissions would rise to the same dangerous levels, the Second Committee (Economic and Financial) heard today as it continued its consideration of sustainable development.  Developing countries would be emitting as much of those gases as industrial countries by 2015, and the efforts of industrial countries alone, within the framework of the Kyoto Protocol, would not be enough to reduce emissions to an acceptable level. had reformed its decision-making bodies and created committees on sustainable development, finance and trade that were assisting 140 national parliaments. www.un.org /news/press/docs/2004/gaef3083.doc.htm   (4312 words)

TIME.com: When it Comes to Kyoto, the U.S. is the "Rogue Nation" -- Page 1 Yet Monday's decision by the nations of the industrialized and developing world to adopt the Kyoto Accord — despite its rejection by Washington — may be a sign that the Home of the Brave is in danger of growing dispensable. Whatever the treaty's imperfections, there was a collective sense of achievement among the overwhelming majority of the world's industrialized and developing nations at the fact that they'd fashioned an epic international consensus on global warming despite the objections of the one nation that still aspires to global leadership. The determination of the nations of the industrialized world to hang in and negotiate a binding treaty even after it had been nixed by the "indispensable nation" suggests that we may have entered a new era in international affairs. www.time.com /time/world/article/0,8599,168701,00.html   (1006 words)

Meet Maurice Strong Earth Summit I, in Stockholm in 1972, not for his demonstrated interest in the environment, but because the Swedish representative to the U.N. believed that only Strong, with his extensive worldwide network of friends, could get both the developed and developing nations to participate. Strong's appointment as Senior Advisor, "to assist planning and executing a far-reaching reform of the world body," is seen by U.N. watchers to be a masterful strategic maneuver to avoid political opposition while empowering Strong to implement a global agenda he has been developing for years. Strong has served, or is currently on the Board of Directors of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN); the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF); and the World Resources Institute (WRI); the three international NGOs that have developed and advanced the global agenda since the early 1970s. www.sovereignty.net /p/sd/strong.html   (3341 words)

Pan Commonwealth Forum - Keynote: Strong The line between the traditional have- and have-not nations is blurring as a result of the economic progress being made by some developing countries. It is not too much to imagine that it will call in to question the basis on which the very sovereignty of nations over their territory and resources is recognised and respected by the international community, particularly when this accords to some nations a disproportionate share of the Earth’s territory and resources. But today the borders of the world are closing and new barriers are being erected to the movement of people, particularly the poor and the dispossessed, at the same time as nations compete to provide incentives to attract the privileged minority with the capital skills that are in short supply. www.col.org /forum/strong.htm   (5602 words)

Developing country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The United Nations allows each nation to decide for itself whether it will be designated as "undeveloped" or "developing" (though many economists and other observers ignore the UN rule about self-designation). Developing countries are in general countries which have not achieved a significant degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and which have a low standard of living. The application of the term 'developing country' to all of the world's least developed countries could be considered innappropriate in the cases of a number of poor countries, due to the fact that they are not improving their economic situation as the term implies, but have experienced prolonged periods of economic decline. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Developing_nation   (5602 words)

Developing country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The United Nations allows each nation to decide for itself whether it will be designated as "undeveloped" or "developing" (though many economists and other observers ignore the UN rule about self-designation). The Third world does not include the nations of the liberal West ("First World") nor of the Soviet bloc ("Second World"), and to some extent were ignored because they could not throw strong support behind either.

Native Nations Institute - What is Nation Building?

It involves building institutions of self-government that are culturally appropriate to the nation and that are effective in addressing the nation’s challenges. In NNI’s usage, nation building refers to the efforts of Native nations to increase their capacities for self-rule and for self-determined, sustainable community and economic development. udallcenter.arizona.edu /nativenations/nationbuild.htm   (204 words)

Brazil's Lula rallies developing nations - (United Press International) Lula's efforts Monday to rally developing nations to his agenda is not the first time that Brazil has played a leading role in trying to level the economic playing field shared by wealthy and developing nations, calling on the latter to work together to improve their shared plight. It was the first time a developing nation had registered and won a complaint in the WTO against an economic powerhouse. He also said it was impossible for developing nations to compete on the same technological level as the world's wealthy countries when intellectual property rights are protected. washingtontimes.com /upi-breaking/20040614-075108-9843r.htm   (204 words)

Developed country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the United Nations system there is no established convention for the designation of "developed" and "developing" countries or areas. Cyprus, Malta, and Slovenia — among the developed countries, but these mostly former-Communist countries are rather newly industrialized nations and some of them (such as Latvia, Lithuania and Poland) remain significantly less affluent than EU-15 countries.

International Energy Outlook - World Energy and Economic Outlook Industrial energy consumption in the developing countries was nearly 40 percent of the worldwide industrial sector total in 2001, and their share is projected to increase to almost one-half of all industrial sector energy consumption by 2025 as a result of the more rapid economic growth expected in the region. The nations of Eastern Europe are expected to continue a general shift toward services and lighter industries as the transition to market economies continues, with tourism services expected to become increasingly important. Thirty-one of the ratifying nations are the so-called Annex I countries, which are required to limit or reduce their greenhouse gases relative to 1990 levels under the terms of the Protocol. www.eia.doe.gov /oiaf/ieo/world.html   (204 words)

TelecomWeb But income disparities in emerging nations are enormous, and it is the issue of telecom for poorer populations that is the subject of this new report. At a time when the OECD nations are struggling with recession, job loss, and even some loss of purpose, some of the emerging nations are seeing far higher growth: China at 8 percent per year; India at 6 percent in 2003. While the economies of many “developed nations” (with the exceptions of Canada and Korea) have been stuck in low gear, many large emerging nations have a compelling combination of strong growth and moderate per-capita incomes: Turkey, Thailand, Russia, and South Africa seem to offer a particularly compelling near-term combination of teledensity and increasing per-capita wealth. www.telecomweb.com /news/1077135566.htm   (204 words)

CIA - The World Factbook -- Field Listing - Background Current issues include: developing a cohesive national identity; expanding the development of the country's vast energy resources and exporting them to world markets; achieving a sustainable economic growth outside the oil, gas, and mining sectors; and strengthening relations with neighboring states and other foreign powers. The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), which maintains a strong presence throughout the country, completed a disarmament program for former combatants in late 2004, but the security situation is still volatile and the process of rebuilding the social and economic structure of this war-torn country remains sluggish. Presently the island is a National Wildlife Refuge run by the US Department of the Interior; a day beacon is situated near the middle of the west coast. www.phatnav.com /factbook/fields/2028.html   (204 words)

sunal.htm It will look to the future, to the role science will play in the developing nations of Africa and also to the past, to the necessity to support the knowledge represented by traditional science and to find a meeting place between the indigenous culture and modern science as the nation develops. The narratives of "nation" and "national identity" that are produced in this context are marked by a conspicuous absence of the discourse and representations of a new democratic South Africa. This presentation will examine the representations and narrative of "nation" and "national identity" which are embedded in the daily practices and public discourses of the administration and teachers of multiracial school in South Africa. www.acs.appstate.edu /orgs/afcab/sunal.htm   (204 words)

Alberta Heritage Alphabet - Blackfoot The Siksika Nation is in the process of developing a framework for self-government seeking to remove it from jurisdiction of The Indian Act, which the Siksika regard as legislated by force by the Canadian Government in 1876. The Siksika are members of the Blackfoot Confederacy, a Plains Indians community composed of five distinct nations including the Blackfoot, the Blood and the Peigan nations (all of which share a common language and culture) as well as the Sarcee and the Gros Ventre. Through this contact, the people of the Siksika nation became familiar with the objects, inventions and animals brought by these early European explorers. www.albertasource.ca /alphabet/article.php?article_id=415   (204 words)

United States as a rogue nation - SourceWatch From this apparently objective definition of the term, it would seem that the term "rogue nation" was defined specifically to encapsulate nations which could pose an asymmetrical threat. Questions as to whether or not the United States is a "rogue nation", as well as the Bush regime's complicity, are being posed, and answered, around the world. Increasingly, it is isolating itself from the community of nations in pursuit of unfettered sovereignty and the consequent economic and political power its wealth gives it. www.sourcewatch.org /index.php?title=United_States_as_a_rogue_nation   (2982 words)

Home Several indigenous peoples especially from the developing world have been pushed to take up arms in defense of their ancestral territories against the nation-states and also against corporations involved in primary resource extraction. Indigenous peoples, on the basis of historical claims clamor for their rights to their ancestral territories and the resources therein, right to self-determination, identity and culture. The key actors involved are the indigenous peoples, nation-states, and multinational corporations/transnational corporations and liberation movements. www.skyinet.net /~tebtebba   (549 words)
