"Rich Countries To Discuss Green Climate Fund in Berlin"

"Rich countries are set to meet in Berlin to pledge cash to smooth the way for a global climate change deal.

The Green Climate Fund is designed to help poor nations adapt to climate extremes like droughts and floods and to buy low-carbon energy sources.

Rich nations previously vowed that by 2020, developing countries would get $100bn (£64bn) a year from such a fund."

Roger Harrabin reports for BBC News November 20, 2014.
