We need to cut emissions - which will only happen if required by law, and as preventative spend much more on renewable energy. As many countries are already suffering the effects of climate change we also need to generously fund adaptation measures for poor countries.

It is very disappointing that Australia is yet to make any similar statement. And we can only hope that Australia (and the rest of the developed world) will take the right course and commit to the required climate financing. This financing is both a matter of need, and justice for developing countries who are already struggling with extreme poverty. Our world's leaders have made repeated commitments to increase aid to 0.7% of national income to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. But the impacts of climate change will be an added burden for countries already struggling to meet these goals, and will provide additional problems to overcome. Climate finance MUST therefore be over and above existing commitments to aid.

Have you heard much about how developing country delegations are responding to this? Looking forward to hearing how your meeting with Lousie Hand went!
