Is the global North an unsupportive entity?
The paradox or aporía would be "an idea, fact or proposition that contradicts logic or infringes common sense" and the best known would be the paradox of Zeno de Elea, known as "Achilles and the turtle". The central thesis of this aporia would be that "Achilles can run faster than the turtle advances but can not catch it, because when it reaches the point where she was before, it has already moved". Thus, Achilles must cover an infinite distance, for which he will need an infinite time so that the unhappy Achilles will never reach the turtle.
Zeno’s basic approach would be summed up in the paradox of the dichotomy according to which "movement is impossible because in order for a moving object to advance a certain distance, it must first advance half of it and then half of it, thus to infinity, so that in reality the mobile does not advance at all".
If we extrapolate that contributed to geopolitical relations, the opulent North would be Achilles and the Global South the turtle, and although Achilles goes faster and surpasses the turtle in the race, they can never coincide in the starting point of the turtle, with what in reality, the world would not move.From this follows the impossibility of reaching agreements between both parties, because they will never agree on the starting point of any negotiation as the movement is impossible.However, it is clear that this paradox, under an appearance of correct reasoning, hides some flaw discovered thanks to the Theory of Limits that indicates that "the assumption that infinite paths must add an infinite distance and need an infinite time is not correct".
Transferred to the world stage, we can deduce that "if both economic zones applied the theory of consensus, the curse of Achilles would be broken because if possible the movement, They would inevitably reach a meeting point to reach the agreements demanded by the world society to alleviate the serious climate change and famines as well as to channel the inevitable migratory movements that are coming in the coming decades.
Thus, in the final report of the 2023 climate change summit (COP28) held in Dubai, signed by 180 countries and with the absence of the leaders of the two countries that produce the most greenhouse gases in the world, (China emits almost a third of the world’s CO and the United States would be the largest historical emitter), it is noted that "developing countries are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change and viable, effective and low-cost mitigation options are needed in all sectors".
Also, to limit global warming to 1.5º C, the agreement states that "Global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 43 percent by 2030 and 60 percent by 2035 relative to 2019 levels, and net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050"measures, but whose implementation will depend on the will of the main polluting countries within the geoeconomic zone of the Global North.
