Rich nations paid $62 bn in climate aid last year

Finance for developing nations to fight climate change and cope with its impacts reached $62 billion (55 billion euros) in 2014, more than halfway to the 2020 target of $100 billion, the OECD said Wednesday.

Up from $52 billion in 2013, the figure represented "significant progress towards the $100 billion goal," said a report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
