    IMF Members Say 'No' to 'Green Fund'

    By Tarra Quismundo // 26 March 2010

    Member countries of the International Monetary Fund thumbed down March 25 a proposal to gather USD100 billion a year starting 2020 to help poor nations adapt to the effects of climate change.

    Reuters reports that the fund “made no public acknowledgment” of the unanimous rejection, but officials said the proposal has long been unpopular among members as they believed the IMF “had no expertise or mandate to address climate change.”
