Caring for your neighbours
Posted on 02. Dec, 2010 by Leela Raina in India, bits
This is a small update to tell you all that India today took the floor in the morning plenary to say that it would to prioritize funding for adaptation for more vulnerable countries highlighting the vulnerability of its neighbours Bangladesh and also mentioned the floods that recently hit Pakistan.
There had been speculation amongst civil society and some negotiators that since India had not officially taken the position to prioritize fund money for vulnerable countries, after which a civil society member urged the delegation to officially take the above stand.
Great to hear India take the floor today.
And relieved of the small but important influence of the civil society in moving the country member delegations.
