Peru, which will host this year’s biggest climate summit, may pledge money for a United Nations fund to inject fresh momentum into international negotiations.

Peru is evaluating a pledge as a “political signal,” and hopes to decide before the UN-mandated talks in Lima in December, Environment Minister Manuel Pulgar-Vidal said in an interview today in Bonn without saying how much the country might pledge. Peru hopes the U.S. and the European Union will also make announcements before the meeting in Lima, he said.
