This commitment will also be a big talking point at the next annual UN summit, due to start in Durban on November 28th. With almost no hope of a big new pact, many expect progress on the formation of a global Green Climate Fund to be one of its few successes. Yet there is huge uncertainty about how developed countries will deliver on their promise, including what role the fund will play. The good news is that there is already a surprisingly large flow of climate finance--as investment into warming abatement and resilience measures is called. According to the first big study of the issue, by Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), a think-tank, at least $97 billion a year is going to developing countries, mostly from private lenders in rich countries. They contributed around $55 billion, with another $39 billion drawn from public budgets and capital markets by multilateral and bilateral development banks. Western taxpayers provided at least $21 billion of the latter amount. Less than $3 billion flowed from Western carbon markets (to offset emissions) and as philanthropy.
