UN Climate Envoys Weigh Aid, Adaptation, Forestry Measures
This article is for subscribers only.
Envoys at United Nations climate talks are working on measures including aid to developing nations, funds to help adapt to more extreme weather patterns and forest protection, according to a text released today.
The programs are detailed in documents spanning 143 pages, distributed by the UN outlining possible outcomes from a meeting in Durban, South Africa. The text is almost five times as long as the agreements from last year’s meeting in Cancun, and will be streamlined next week when ministers and envoys from more than 190 nations and heads of state from 10 of those gather to debate the plan.
