World fights over climate [hoax] fund

International NGO World Vision has calculated that if the developing countries are to also mitigate their emissions of greenhouse gases that are leading to global warming, industrialised countries will have to pay them $150 billion a year, the NGO’s Brett Parris said.

While international organisations converge on these figures, delegates from industrialised countries remain locked in controversy over who will govern the fund when it is formed.

The industrialised countries want it to be governed by the World Bank, while developing countries are insisting it be governed by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The tussle, on for more than a year now, continues. Developing countries feel they will have more say in the working of the fund - especially disbursal of money - if it is governed by the UNFCCC.
