U.K. Parliament Panel Calls for More Funds To Help Poor Nations Tackle Climate Change

摘要

Rich countries urgently need to provide funding to help poor countries tackle climate change, a U.K. parliamentary committee said in a report published June 3.rnBy committing to "new, additional and predictable financial flows," the United Kingdom, and other countries, would "send out an important signal to poor countries that the developed world is prepared to meet its responsibilities towards them," the House of Commons International Development Committee (IDC) said.rnThe action would also "encourage other donors to be equally bold in fulfilling their clear obligations on adaptation costs," the IDC said in its Sustainable Development in a Changing Climate report.rnAdditional funding is crucial to securing a new global deal in Copenhagen in December for tackling climate change, the IDC said.
