"Global commons are the most threatened objects in climate change scenario. The
nature of these commons itself is vulnerable in the world of unclear property rights,
externalities and different forms of claims. Sunderban, the world’s largest mangrove
forest is in peril due to corrupt practice and its consequences are alarming especially
in the realm of climate change. The aim of this paper is to pose the concern that
Sunderban as a global commons and its deterioration due to malpractice in using
resource is a global loss. In exposing the loss the paper aims to highlight the
corruption issue and its true loss in terms of total economic values. The importance
of Sundarban is immense in terms of carbon sink as well as “bio-shield” against
cyclone and high tidal surges. Moreover, destruction of the forest will bring havoc to
ecology and unexplored and unutilized marine resources of the surrounding water
system. The total valuation shows that the damaged monetized in normal accounting
process is much less than the actual damaged enumerated using total valuation
approach. Policy conclusion is drawn strengthening the norms of reducing corrupt
practices and better management approach." |
