LONDON - Less than 10 percent of funds spent to help poorer communities adapt to climate change impacts and adopt clean energy are reaching the people most in need of the money, finance researchers say.
Today, donors have given only 11 percent of the climate funds they promised, in part because of the obstacles, she said.
Richer nations have promised to donate or otherwise mobilize $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poorer countries switch to clean energy and adapt to problems such as worsening droughts, flooding and sea level rise.
But getting that money raised and flowing has proved challenging.
The United States, for instance, has promised $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund and so far delivered $1 billion. But President Donald Trump has suggested he would not make any additional contributions, and may pull the United States out of its international climate agreements.

Should we be using “Scam” or “SCAM!!!!!”
Of course, because most of it ends up lining the pockets of greedy bureaucrats and politicians, just like it does with third world foreign aid in general.
Liberals never learn.
Gee I wonder why. How stupid do they think everyone is? Pretty stupid it seems.
Fat cat Al Gore couldn’t make it in politics sure did a flim flam with the greenies. $$$
Taking taxpayer financed trips to the poles to take selfies with the polar bears and penguins to impress their friends can get very expensive.
The modern environmental movement is a progressive wealth diversion program sold to unwitting rubes as “saving the Earth.”
Brought to you by the same folks who support the Bill And Hill Foundation.
I've adopted the TrumpTweet rule: use SCAM!!!!!
Compared to the Clinton Global Crime Syndicate: a total success!
El Reuters practically admits climate aid is really designed to funnel USA $$ to 3rd world countries.
Are the people in the 3rd world countries going to solve Global Warming?
Of course not so then why pay them?
Unless its REALLY just a scam.
Well well well! Even lefties are noticing a scam. What happens when lefties inflict leftism on other lefties?
“Climate aid?” WTF?
Other than making crops easier to grow, how exactly does “climate change” impact poorer nations?
I flipped over to CSPAN for a few minutes this AM and some guy from Afghanistan was telling the Senate that global warming has caused the snow to melt so fast that need a lot of money to build dams and infrastructure.
See my post 18.
Yep. “Infrastructure” can take many forms.
