Climate Change: Commonwealth Champions Adaption Fund
Peter Richards, Inter Press Service: “The Port of Spain Climate Change Consensus that Commonwealth leaders adopted was reached at the end of a special meeting also attended by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen. The Commonwealth is an association of mostly former British colonies in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. Participants said they want the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, to be held in Copenhagen early next month, to address the urgent needs of developing countries by providing new financing, support for adaptation, technology transfer, capacity building and incentives for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.”
