The World Resources Institute (WRI)\u00a0posted this table<\/a> on their Website tracking funding commitments by industrialized nations to support developing countries cut their CO2 and green house gas emissions. The funding pledge by the industrialized world was about the only firm commitment that came out of the Copenhagen conference last December<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The table is an organic process that’s going to be continually updated with new funding commitments, points out the WRI\u2019s\u00a0Maria Athena Ballesteros, who authored the document.<\/p>\n

Ballesteros writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The commitments are clear, their delivery is uncertain. WRI has carried out a preliminary analysis based on available information on countries\u2019 immediate and long term pledges announced thus far. The accompanying table sets out both the amounts and the mechanisms by which funding would be delivered. WRI has also looked at whether these pledges will provide \u201cnew and additional\u201d funds compared to what developed countries already provide through official development assistance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As part of the agreement forged in Copenhagen developed countries have collectively committed $30 billion (\u20ac22 billion \/\u00a319.9 billion) over the next three years to help poorer nations cut their own carbon and green house gas emissions.<\/p>\n

Long term, by 2020,\u00a0the industrialized world has set out an ambitious $100 billion a year funding in support of this “North – South” climate change cooperation.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the WRI\u00a0table shows, that the European Union (EU) states committed a combined $3.36 billion a year over the next two years in climate change subsidies for the developing world. That’s impressive but actually less than the $5 billion a year Japan has committed.\u00a0 The U.S., according to the WRI, has committed $1.821 billion for the 2010 and 2011.<\/p>\n
