G-77: EU funding “insignificant”

Lumumba Stanislaus Di-Aping of Sudan – negotiator for the G-77 – is definitely not impressed by EU’s pledge to fund 7.2 billion euro over the next three years.
"I believe they are not only insignificant, they actually breed even more distrust on the intentions of European leaders on climate change," said Lumumba Stanislaus Di-Aping of Sudan on Friday, according to AFP.
"Our view is that European leaders are acting as if they were climate sceptics," he said. "Fundamentally, they are saying this problem does not exist and therefore they are providing no finance whatsoever."
The G-77 negotiator also criticized the EU proposal because it fails to address the issue of setting up long-term financing mechanisms. The EU estimates the need for funding to developing countries to be around 100 billion euro annually by 2020. The both public and private money from developed countries should be spent on adaptation to and mitigation of global warming in developing nations.
The Chinese Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei also worried about the long term funding:
"It will be relatively easy for developed countries to come up with a number for the short term for three years," he told AFP. "But what shall we do after three years?"
