Jeffrey D. Sachs, an Economic professor of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and also Special Adviser to UN Secretary-General on the MDG’s think that Obama has undermined the UN climate change. This statement came out because he think that Obama have not respect for the international law of UNFCCC and ignore of other 187 remaining member countries’s voice by declaring with a vague statement of principles agreed with four other countries. It is non-binding and will probably strengthen the forces of opposition to emissions reductions.
Responsibility for this disaster reaches far and wide. Let us start with George W. Bush, who ignored climate change for the eight years of his presidency, wasting the world’s precious time. Then came the UN, for managing the negotiating process so miserably during a two-year period. Then came the European Union for pushing relentlessly for a single-minded vision of a global emissions-trading system, even when such a system would not fit the rest of the world. Then came the United States Senate, which has ignored climate change for 15 consecutive years since ratifying the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Finally, there is Obama, who effectively abandoned a systematic course of action under the UN framework, because it was proving nettlesome to US power and domestic politics.
Further, Sachs thought that Obama has taken on a grave responsibility in history. If his action proves unworthy, if the voluntary commitments of the US and others prove insufficient, and if future negotiations are derailed, it will have been Obama who single-handedly traded in international law for big-power politics on climate change.
Aside from that, Sach’s opinion is still in controversial in US.
