The group of Least
Developed Countries (LDCs) at the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC), may be spoiling for war as they are demanding climate
finance figures from rich nations before December 2013.
Chairman of the LDCs group, Prakash Mathema of Nepal, made this disclosure to
NaijaAgroNet at the end of international negotiations under the UNFCCC, insisting
that greater financial transparency was needed to implement action to tackle
climate change.
This, LDCs group said the industrialised nations
should provide detailed information about the finance they are willing to
provide to help the vulnerable adapt to climate change.
The LDC Group requests each industrialised country to provide information on the levels of finance they have provided in 2013 and how much they will provide in future years. The group requests this information to include precise allocations for adaptation specifically, along with a breakdown of how much finance is for the LDCs.

The LDCs requested that
the richer nations provide this information at COP19, the 19th Conference of
Parties to the UNFCCC, which takes place in Warsaw at the end of the year.
As said by LDC Chairman, they expressed deepest appreciation to the Annex 1 Parties who have made substantial contributions towards supporting adaptation in the LDCs.

“But there is too much
uncertainty about where the future funds will come from. Delayed climate action
and lack of ambition to close the mitigation gap will cost more tomorrow than today. We need to move to a
sustainable climate smart pathway where life is possible for all and for
generations to come,” he said.
Further, the LDCs, with
their weak adaptive capacity and their extreme vulnerability to the adverse
impacts of climate change, have already witnessed many catastrophic climate
disasters and these events are going to be more frequent, intense and
unpredictable.
“We are all aware of the
fact that the level of concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has
reached 400 parts per million, the highest level for some three million years. This is alarming. We lament the failure of parties to launch the negotiations
under the UNFCCC’s subsidiary body for implementation at the UN negotiations
which ended Monday, November 11, 2013 in
Bonn," he said.
This, LDCs said is of
grave concern to the group as issues of implementation are key for the LDCs.
“We expect this not to happen again at COP19 in Warsaw later this year. Communities around the world have high expectations regarding this process and hope that we, as climate ambassadors, will take some bold decisions very soon to protect humanity from the adverse impacts of climate change. To implement such decisions, financial support is key. We need to act now and we need to act together,” the group said.
