(ANSA) - ROME, NOVEMBER 05 - The one hundred billion dollars promised by rich nations to poor nations will be able to be delivered in 2022, a year earlier than previously thought. The American climate envoy JohnKerry said this, reports the Guardian online noting that however they are still two years late.
Japan's promise to pay $ 2 billion a year, Kerry said last night, will unlock another $ 8 billion a year in private sector money. An October 25 OECD report stated that developing countries would have access to $ 97 billion in public and private funds in 2022 and $ 106 billion in 2023.
"This means that by 2022 we now have all the $ 100 billion we wanted and $ 100 billion in the future, so let's take this problem off the table, and that changes the dynamics," said the US climate envoy.
