[NEW DELHI] Countries expect a "set of decisions" on forestry, technology, adaptation and financing at the upcoming international climate meeting in Cancun next week, which will "lay the roadmap" for a future legally binding agreement on climate change in 2011, India’s environment minister Jairam Ramesh predicts.
Ramesh and other senior officials at his ministry talked about a "logjam" in the current stage of negotiations between developing and developed countries.
Developing countries expect that at least the first tranche of US$10 billion out of the total US$30 billion fast-track financing fund for adaptation, agreed upon at the previous climate summit in Copenhagen in December 2009, would be available in Cancun.
