ABSTRACT
The Human Development Report of the United Nations Development Program 2007-2008 has warned that "the world should focus on the development impact of climate change that could bring unprecedented reversals in poverty reduction, nutrition, health and education. The environmental morality related to climate change that has prevailed up to the present moment has helped to justify costly, and in many cases unnecessary, investments in environmental projects that have failed to counter effects of climate change. The international community has renewed its environmental moral commitment by undertaking a negotiation process pursuant to the road-map agreed at the Thirteenth Session of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bali, Indonesia. A dark combination of poverty and climate change poses a formidable challenge to reaching the Millennium Development Goals and harshly exposes the weakness of the environmental morality of the planet.
