Using Innovative and Effective Approaches to Deliver Climate Change Support to Developing Countries

Abstract:

The EU has taken a lead in promoting international action to address climate change. In line with the IPCC’s findings, the EU established the GCCA to tackle the urgent, linked challenges of climate change and poverty reduction in developing countries. With an emphasis on aid effectiveness and integrating climate change into national development planning, the work of the GCCA supports the adoption of purposeful action at national and regional levels as well as negotiations towards an international post-2012 agreement.
