‘We welcome The Major Economies Forum’s challenge to finance ministers to come back to the G20 negotiating table in September with finance proposals to support developing countries in their response to climate change.

`Let’s hope that at last we are seeing rich countries delivering the bold and decisive leadership that is required to tackle what Obama quite rightly referred to as the defining challenge of our time.’
