Irish Government doubted UK campaign to ‘save David’ Trimble
Arsenal's performance in recent matches has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike. While they have shown flashes of brilliance in certain games, their overall goal-scoring record from open play leaves much to be desired. This lack of offensive prowess has not only resulted in dropped points but has also raised questions about the team's ability to compete at the highest level.
Minutes of an Executive meeting from June of that year state further action would be considered “as appropriate” if the DUP went ahead with a threat to rotate its ministers. The minutes are within files which have been declassified at the Public Record Office in Belfast. Devolved powersharing had been restored to Northern Ireland in May 2000 when Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble had received the backing of his party to go back into the Assembly, despite there having been no decommissioning of IRA arms at that point. Then DUP deputy leader Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds took up the offices as ministers for regional development and social development, but refused to attend Executive meetings due to the presence of Sinn Fein ministers. The party also said it would rotate its ministerial posts to prevent other parties from taking them. A minute of an Executive meeting on June 8 said Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds had refused a request from First Minister Mr Trimble and deputy First Minister Seamus Mallon to meet with them “to discuss recent public comments by the DUP concerning their positions as ministers”. The minute records that the Executive endorsed a proposal from the First and deputy First Ministers to write again to the two DUP ministers setting out sanctions against them. It says: “The First Minister and and Deputy First Minister would assume responsibility for representing the Executive Committee on transport matters at the British-Irish Council in place of the Minister for Regional Development. “The Minister for Social Development and the Minister for Regional Development would not be nominated to attend meetings of the Joint Ministerial Committee. “Pending the receipt of satisfactory assurances from DUP Ministers regarding the confidentiality and integrity of Executive Committee business, the Minister for Social Development and Minister for Regional Development would not receive Executive Committee papers as of right. “The First Minister and Deputy First Minister would seek briefing, as appropriate, from officials in the Department for Regional Development and Department for Social Development.” The minute continues: “If the DUP carried out their threat to change the holders of the two Ministerial offices on a frequent basis, the Executive Committee would consider other action as appropriate.” Mr Robinson and Mr Dodds resigned as ministers on June 27 and were replaced by party colleagues Gregory Campbell and Maurice Morrow. A minute from an Executive meeting that day says: “The Executive Committee noted that the Minister for Social Development and Minister for Regional Development would be resigning their posts that afternoon, and expressed concern at the proposed rotation of the ministries held by their Party Members.”

But higher economic growth is believed to have come with increasing environmental pressure, notably through higher greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, India’s Economic Survey (2023-24) claims that India has decoupled its economic growth from GHG emissions, as between 2005 and 2019, India’s GDP grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%, while emissions rose at a CAGR of just 4%. This raises a crucial question: has India really decoupled its economic growth from GHG emissions? And, what does this mean for sustainable development? What it means Decoupling refers to breaking the link between economic growth and environmental degradation. Historically, economic growth is found to be positively related with environmental degradation, as this growth is believed to be a driver of GHG emissions. However, with the growing climate crisis, the imperative to reduce emissions while ensuring continued economic growth has gained global traction. Decoupling has largely been classified into two types: absolute decoupling and relative decoupling. Absolute decoupling occurs when the economy grows, while emissions decrease. This is the ideal form of decoupling, where countries grow economically without increasing environmental harm. However, relative decoupling happens when both GDP and emissions grow, but the rate of GDP growth surpasses the rate of emissions growth. While this signifies progress, at the same time, it acknowledges that emissions continue to rise. Decoupling of economic growth and GHG emissions is important. On one hand, it offers a path to sustainable growth and development, a way for nations to grow and improve living standards without exacerbating climate change. On the other, it comes as a response to rising demand for degrowth and sparks the ongoing debate between green growth and degrowth. Proponents of green growth argue that it is possible to maintain or even increase economic growth while reducing environmental harm. In contrast, degrowth advocates suggest that economic growth itself is the primary driver of ecological degradation and should be curbed in favour of reducing resource consumption. But proponents of degrowth overlook the fact that countries, in addition to tackling rising GHG emissions and the climate change, are also required to tackle low standards of living, energy poverty and ensure a decent life, which could be taken care of through economic growth. The claim The claim of India’s decoupling made in the Economic Survey comes from comparing GDP and emissions growth rates between 2005 and 2019. The Survey does not specify whether this represents absolute or relative decoupling. Using various decoupling indicators discussed in OECD (2002), we examine the status of the economy-wide and sector-wise decoupling status for India. Since the 1990s, with significant trade liberalisation, India has been experiencing steady and stable economic growth. Hence, we are examining how GDP and emission generation are growing in India with respect to the levels of 1990. While there has been no absolute decoupling in India, since 1990, GDP in India has grown at a much higher pace than the GHG emissions in the country, indicating economy-wide relative decoupling. Since, the agriculture and manufacturing sectors are among the major contributors of emission generation in India, it is also important to understand whether these sectors have also achieved decoupling or not, which has been assessed by comparing rate of growth of GVA of the respective sector with the rate of growth of GHGs emitted by the sector. From 1990, India’s GDP has grown six-fold, while GHG emissions have only tripled. Efforts must continue From the data, it seems that India may have achieved relative decoupling, where emissions are still rising but at a slower pace than the economy. This achievement, while commendable, falls short of the ultimate goal of absolute decoupling, where economic growth can continue even as emissions fall. While most countries fall short of achieving absolute decoupling and still experience rising emissions as GDP increases, many countries have at least managed to achieve a declining rate of growth of emissions. Given that India is a developing country which has not even peaked its emissions yet, emissions are expected to increase with economic growth. Hence, achieving absolute decoupling is not going to happen anytime soon. While India’s relative decoupling is a step in the right direction, the path to absolute decoupling is still a long and complex journey. Efforts must still be taken and it will be a significant challenge. This remains a necessary target if India is to meet its long-term climate commitments. Policies and measures that support renewable energy, emission mitigation, and sustainable development will be crucial in ensuring that economic growth and environmental preservation can coexist, ensuring a prosperous and sustainable future for India.
