  • Wealthy nations said they would spend about $25 billion (€25 billion) by 2025 to boost Africa’s efforts to adapt to climate change, according to officials at a climate summit in Rotterdam, Netherlands, held Monday.
  • The African Adaptation Summit takes place just weeks after the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) found that rich countries had failed to deliver on their 2009 promise to spend $100 billion a year by 2020 to help developing countries adapt to global warming.
