Qatar’s Emir commits $100M to climate change

The Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Thani has committed $100 million in support of small developing island states and the least developed states to deal with climate change, natural hazards and environmental changes, and to build the capacity to counter their destructive effects.

He made the commitment at a speech at the United Nations Climate Summit held at the agency’s headquarters in New York City last week.
