    'I don't think we should get distracted by these numbers; what is more important to people on the ground, to those most vulnerable to climate change, is ensuring that money flows to meet their needs'.

    The Green Climate Fund: Ready, set, go?

    Opinion - Articles and blogs - 20 February 2012
    'There are high expectations for the Green Climate Fund (GCF) … … but much remains undecided. What role will the GCF really play? And what will it take to keep the GCF from being a beautifully constructed, but largely empty shell?'

    Where does the Green Climate Fund stand now?

    Opinion - Articles and blogs - 12 January 2012

    Common challenges in climate finance delivery and new demands within different country settings

    Opinion - Articles and blogs - 1 December 2011

This week at the Durban COP we are seeing this diversity play out both within the negotiating auditorium as well as at a succession of side events in the adjacent building. The challenge is how to accommodate this diversity of view within a framework agreement that all countries can support.
