The Fund, financed by developed countries, is designed to help developing countries meet the costs of mitigating and adapting to climate change. The US has now pledged $3 billion, with Japan promising $1.5 billion, augmenting previous pledges by France and Germany – funding that is essential to ensure developing countries’ fruitful participation at COP21.
与此同时，联合国绿色气候基金（Green Climate Fund）也获得了更多的融资承诺支持——这是通往巴黎之路上的又一关键垫脚石。该基金由发达国家出资，目的是帮助发展中国家承担减轻和适应气候变化的成本。现在，美国承诺出资30亿美元，日本承诺出资15亿美元，扩大了此前法国和德国的承诺出资量——这笔资金对于确保发展中国家参与COP21至关重要。
