Developed countries should keep their promises to provide developing nations with funds and clean technology

There are disagreements about how developed nations should offer funding assistance to help developing nations combat the effects of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Whether substantial progress is made over the funding will help determine if the ongoing United Nations climate conference in Doha, Qatar, is a success or not.

The basis for such financial assistance is developed countries have emitted large volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases since the start of the Industrial Revolution, gases that are viewed as a main cause of climate change and which are now at an impassable limit.
