along with other BASIC nations on Wednesday questioned a recent OECD report
which claimed that significant progress has been made on $100 billion fund for developing nations to mitigate climate change and sought a transparent

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development had
recently come out with a paper in partnership with Climate Policy Initiative
'Climate Finance in 2013-14 and the $100 billion goal', claiming significant

by 2020 and $62 billion has already been given.

to developing nations to help them fight the challenge of climate change.
