OSLO/LONDON, June 1 (Reuters) - Earthquake-hit Japan and many other rich nations are reaffirming pledges to give $30 billion from 2010-12 to help poor nations fight climate change despite budget cuts, a Reuters survey showed on Wednesday.

Climate aid has totalled $16.2 billion since January 2010, according to submissions to the United Nations by a May deadline [ID:nLDE75019C]. Poor nations have said much of the cash is from existing programmes and is not new as promised.
