Liu researchers provide recommendations for $100 billion in annual climate change aid

In advance of a major United Nations climate conference, Liu Institute researchers are providing recommendations for managing a $100 billion annual commitment made by the international community at last year’s United Nations climate conference to help the developing world respond to climate change — a funding promise almost equal to all existing official development aid from major donor countries today.
In this issue of Science, Simon Donner, Milind Kandlikar and Hisham Zerriffi argue that the aid commitment made by developed nations is unprecedented and that the world must learn from the troubled history of international development to ensure that countries meet the commitment and provide real actions on the ground.
