In a move that surprised just about everyone, today US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced in her speech at COP15 that the US would join other nations in securing a $100 billion fund/per year by 2020 to help developing countries cope with climate change --
so long as an agreement can be reached on a "substantive political accord" that would include transparency in tracking emissions cuts by major developing countries.
Clinton was talking about China, India, and Brazil, but she didn't actually come out and say it.
In response, the nonprofit 1Sky launched a campaign asking Americans to call President Obama to let him know that Americans want him to commit the US to ambitious targets and climate financing for developing nations that will put us on the path to 350 ppm, to survival, and to a fair, ambitious and binding global deal.
To participate in the campaign go here.
