7月7日奧斯陸報道，挪威政府周三表示，挪威將在五年內(nèi)撥出100億克朗(合11.6億美元)用于發(fā)展中國家的可再生能源投資，以減少溫室氣體排放，并敦促私人投資者與其合作。
由挪威發(fā)展中國家投資基金管理的氣候基金將從明年起支持減少對化石燃料，特別是煤的依賴的項目。
挪威政府表示，最終，通過與私人資本的合作，它可以籌集約 1000 億克朗的投資，這是挪威為實現(xiàn)聯(lián)合國氣候變化協(xié)議和可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標(biāo)所做貢獻(xiàn)的重要組成部分。
該國首相Erna Solberg在一份聲明中表示，要成功減少溫室氣體排放，特別是在亞洲，我們需要動員更多的商業(yè)資本。我敦促投資者在氣候投資基金成立并運行后與之合作。
挪威外交部發(fā)言人表示，挪威每年將63億克朗用于氣候融資，作為其發(fā)展援助預(yù)算的一部分，除此之外，還將提供支持。
像挪威這樣的工業(yè)化國家，其巨額財富來自于出售石油和天然氣，而大氣中積累的過多溫室氣體大部分是由這些國家造成的，而許多欠發(fā)達(dá)國家則首當(dāng)其沖地受到氣候變化的影響。
面對來自發(fā)展中國家的批評，即應(yīng)對氣候變化的努力剝奪了富裕國家取得的進(jìn)步，富裕國家在十多年前承諾從2020年起每年提供1000億美元的資金，以幫助較貧窮的國家應(yīng)對適應(yīng)的挑戰(zhàn)。
2018年，他們捐助了近800億美元。目前還沒有2020年的最后數(shù)據(jù)。
11 月在英國舉行的聯(lián)合國氣候峰會將試圖說服各國更快地減少溫室氣體排放。
聯(lián)合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯(Antonio Guterres)今年6月表示，會談的成功將取決于富裕國家在財政捐助方面取得突破。

Norway to spend $1.2 bln on renewable projects in developing nations
Norway will allocate 10 billion crowns ($1.16 billion) over five years towards renewable energy investments in developing countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the government said on Wednesday, and urged private investors to work with it.
The climate fund, administered by the Norwegian Investment Fund for developing countries, Norfund, will from next year support projects to reduce dependence on fossil-fuels, especially coal.
Eventually, it could mobilise around 100 billion crowns in investments via partnerships with private capital and is an essential part of Norway's contribution to achieving the United Nations' climate change agreement and sustainable development goals, the government said.
"To succeed in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in Asia, we need to mobilise more commercial capital," Prime Minister Erna Solberg said in a statement. "I urge investors to work with the climate investment fund when it is up and running."
The support will be in addition to the 6.3 billion crowns Norway spends per year in climate financing as part of its development aid budget, a foreign ministry spokesperson said.
Industrialised nations, such as Norway whose great wealth stems from selling oil and gas, are responsible for most of the excess greenhouse gases accumulated in the atmosphere, while many less developed nations bear the brunt of climate change.
Facing criticism from the developing world that the drive to tackle climate change denies it the progress wealthier nations enjoy, rich countries pledged more than a decade ago to channel $100 billion a year in funding from 2020 onwards to help poorer nations to cope with the challenge of adapting.
They contributed nearly $80 billion in 2018. The final data for the 2020 is not yet available.
The United Nations climate summit in November in Britain will attempt to persuade countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions faster.
The success of the talks, which are likely to be difficult, will depend on a breakthrough in financial contributions from rich countries, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in June.
