US$6.1 bil. pledged for climate change

Industrialized countries pledged more than US$6.1 billion to international investment funds aimed at helping developing countries adopt cleaner technologies and mitigate growth in greenhouse gas emissions.

With the development of technology and industry, people’s lives become more and more convenient. However, we don’t think of that such fast development also brings us a lot of problems, for example, global warming. The climate change is mainly caused by overusing some chemical elements and fuels. In order to mitigate climate change, some developed countries get together to solve the problem. These ten countries pledged more than US$6.1 billion on this project.

The problem of climate change has become worse and worse. As a global citizen, I should concern about the environment more. After I read the news report, I am very glad to see countries regardless of race and economic level help each other. This is not just a country’s own problem. It will influence the whole world. Disburses money richly, powerful output. Therefore, the world would be more harmonious. Though every country makes efforts to mitigate climate change, we could not wait until injure already created then recover. All we can do is start from ourselves. Turn off the appliances when you don’t need them. Take public transportation as possible as you can. Though it seems nothing to do with the earth, as long as everyone does it, it will take effect.
