LONDON (Reuters) - Developed countries must contribute collectively to a $100 billion annual fund to fight climate change in developing countries by 2020, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Friday.
Global talks to agree in December in Denmark a new treaty to fight climate change have struggled to determine how rich countries pay for climate action in poorer nations.
"I propose we take a working figure for this purpose of around $100 billion per annum by 2020," Brown said in London.
"If we are to achieve an agreement in Copenhagen I believe we must move the debate from a stand-off over hypothetical figures."
