Are poor & women necessarily the worst victims of environmental degradation?
Your question is clever. They do not have to be necessarily the victims, but they are worst victims at present. They need not be as they live on environment, it is in their interest to protect environment. If we create a situation where women are given charge of environment, their conditions improves. CSE pointed out irregularities in audits of firms like Ernst & Young. What alternatives do you propose of CDM( Carbon Development Mechanism)? I am not in favor of CDM per se. CDM was developed as a financial trading mechanism. I believe in entitlement of every individual over atmosphere. To manage common atmosphere, we need common entitlement & rights of every human being over global atmosphere. Each country must have a quota & trading must be allowed within that quota. CDM is a poor way of doing it. My approach is two fold. Let us see, how CDM can work & also simultaneously look for answers to CDM. And here, I firmly believe that we have to drive CDM so that it becomes effective for us.
