De fem store vækstøkonomier kendt som BRICS har holdt topmøde i Goa, Indien, i forrige weekend.
Resultatet blev den såkaldte Goa-erklæring fra sammenslutningen, der består af Brasilien, Kina, Indien, Rusland og Sydafrika.
De fem vækstgiganter lover at styrke det indbyrdes samarbejde på flere forskellige områder.
Et andet ønske er en mere lige og demokratisk verdensorden. Det lyder således i erklæringen:
“We reiterate our view that international efforts to address these challenges, the establishment of sustainable peace as well as the transition to a more just, equitable and democratic multi-polar international order requires a comprehensive, concerted and determined approach, based on spirit of solidarity, mutual trust and benefit, equity and cooperation, strong commitment to international law and the central role of the United Nations as the universal multilateral organisation entrusted with the mandate for maintaining international peace and security, advance global development and to promote and protect human rights.”
Føre an ved eksempel
Vedtagelsen af FN’s verdensmål bliver ligeldes hyldet i erklæringen, hvor vækstlandene lover at føre an som eksempel:
“We commit to lead by example in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in line with national circumstances and development context respecting the national policy space”.
Der blev i erklæringen fundet plads til at nævne de globale måls fokus på kvinders ligestilling og sammenslutningens løfte om at fremme netop dette:
“We reiterate the commitments to gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls as contained in the 2030 Agenda. We recognise that women play a vital role as agents of development and acknowledge that their equal and inclusive participation and contribution is crucial to making progress across all Sustainable Development Goals and targets. We emphasise the importance of enhancing accountability for the implementation of these commitments”.
Byder Paris-aftale velkommen
Paris-aftalen, den store globale aftale om klimaet, der blev indgået i den franske hovedstad i december, bliver nævnt flere gange i dokumentet:
“We welcome the Paris Agreement and its imminent entry into force on 4 November 2016.We call on the developed countries to fulfil their responsibility towards providing the necessary financial resources, technology and capacity building assistance to support the developing countries with respect to both mitigation and adaptation for the implementation of the Paris Agreement”.
Der er en paragraf, som nævner, at vise lande i sammenslutningen bliver nødt til at arbejde med atomkraft for at nå målene i den store klimapagt.
Erklæringen rummer også en lille stikpille til rige nationer. BRICS-landene opfordrer alle de velhavende lande til at overholde deres løfte om at levere 0,7% af BNI til udviklingbistand.
Goa-erklæringen kan i sin helhed læses i nedenstående link.
