The basic purpose of the world gathering on such occasion is to assess the measures taken in the earlier tasks assigned related to climate goals. The news circulated in the media that world powers tussled over the funding collection and curbing carbon emission by the developed nations. This is utmost necessary to say that rich nation has a great contribution in climate degradation and global warming. Therefore, this is their ethical obligation to contribute and enhance capability of the poor and vulnerable nations. Major portion of their budget should be allocated on spending and creating green economies and sustainability. Now is the time to think about green energy, adopt solar energy technologies. The rich countries have to fulfill their promises, helping poor and climate hit regions in the world to reduce environmental pollution. Indeed, the third world countries have less share in climate disturbance, but we bear for it. Sooner than later, the planet is getting warmer; carbon emission has to be strictly prohibited. Now The International Court of Justice has to say in favor of safe guarding our green Planet. The climate summit also launched a new five year program (Joint Work Program-UNFCCC) to promote Climate Technology solutions in developing countries.
