Why do poor countries need Climate Change finance?
As well as money to invest in clean technologies, poor countries need funds to adapt to those effects of climate change that are already happening – for example by improving early warning systems and building raised foundations for homes, schools and emergency flood shelters. These funds should be granted through the UN – not the World Bank which is unaccountable to the poorest countries (see Part 3) and has a history of funding polluting projects.
