"Getting to $100 Billion in Climate Change Aid"

"Where’s the money? Six years ago in Copenhagen, Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state, brought the moribund negotiations on a deal to slow climate change back from the dead with a single promise of $100 billion a year to help the world’s poor nations.

The world’s advanced industrial nations committed to 'mobilizing jointly $100 billion a year by 2020, to address the needs of developing countries.' The money was to come from 'a wide variety of sources, public and private, bilateral and multilateral, including alternative sources of finance.'"
