In the recent past, the global arena has been on the forefront in fighting climate change, and one ironical fact is that the developing countries have been asked by the developed countries to cease the use of over-polluting technology which contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment. The irony in this fact is that these developed countries significantly benefited from these technologies, through industrialization and hence economic growth(Argyriou, 2017). Although the developed countries built their economies through industrialization and technological productions that emits greenhouse gases to the environment, developing countries should not be exempted from the greenhouse gas production limits. I therefore disagree with the argument the aforementioned argument, that the economic growth of developing countries relies on carbon emissions, hence the justification for increased greenhouse gas emissions in these countries.

The achievement of a low-carbon future depends on the ability of global countries to work together to combat global climate change. This can only be achieved if leaders focus on alternative paths to prosperity. As such, both developed and developing countries should detach economic development from increased carbon emissions. Sustainable human growth requires minimized environmental impact that is associated with increased industrialization. The sustainable development goals target low or zero technological energy emissions, which are later expected to solving the issue of climate change.

Despite the need for a sustainable environment, the developing countries have limited ambitions for adopting low-carbon emission plans. With economic growth and poverty alleviation being the priorities for these countries, de-carbonization is not a priority. This hence results in progression difficulties which consequently affects the progress of the agreement made in Paris to combat global climate change. It is therefore the responsibility of the developed countries to help the developing countries in maintaining steady economic growth, with minimal carbon emissions. The first step towards this is assessing and addressing the problems faced y these countries(Argyriou, 2017).
