Poverty Linked To Climate Change

The NYT-article informs that policies for climate change are increasingly linked to those who are helping the poor, since poverty compaigners are concerned by the issue of climate destabilization.
The article states that "many nations are too poor to invest in cleaner energy systems, or to curb deforestation, which releases greenhouse gases".
In a plan released this week by the E.U. environmental commisioner it is stated that "developing countries, except for the very poorest, would have to limit emissions by between 15 percent and 30 percent by 2020 compared with “business as usual” levels."
