Summary:
This study looks into how the EU has fulfilled a crucial commitment within the so-called Bonn Declaration of 2001, a collective agreement of the then EU-15 and five other OECD donor countries to provide financial support to developing countries for climate change adaptation and mitigation. The report finds that although support has been provided through dedicated climate change funds, the amount of support provided falls well short of the amount pledged.
