'Dig deep' urges Miliband
WEALTHY nations need to "put their money where their mouth is" and promise finance for a global climate change deal, Ed Miliband said yesterday.
The Climate Change Secretary said he expected negotiations at next month's crucial summit in Copenhagen to go "right down to the wire", with funding for developing countries set to be a potential stumbling block.
He also said the aviation and maritime industries would be expected to help fund a deal.
EU leaders have agreed to a 100 billion annual package to help poorer nations adapt to climate change.
Mr Miliband said: "One of the cruellest things about climate change is that the people who have done least to cause the problem face the worst consequences of it, including in Africa and elsewhere."
