U.s. will help countries threatened by climate change with €2,4 billion

Barack Obama recently announced that the United States intends to provide up to €2,4 billion to help countries that are being affected by climate change. The funds will enable these Nations to adapt to the new conditions of life, as well as to invest in clean energy.

However, the White House won't provide the money at zero cost. So that the amount is released, Barack Obama indicated that other G20 countries must have a similar attitude and provide amounts, even if in smaller values, referred to Inhabitat.

Although the action may seem generous and well-meaning, the approach chosen is to throw money to the problem, instead of taking effective action against climate change. Still, the money will allow the poor countries to invest in clean energy and adapt to more extreme conditions.
