The World Bank's Clean Technology Fund (CTF)

摘要: The United States Treasury has led efforts to create a $10 billion Clean Technology Fund (CTF), located at the World Bank, help fund deployment of clean technology reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developing economies. Bush administration asked Congress authorize and appropriate U.S. funding $2 over three years (FY2009 FY2011). While many Members have expressed support for CTF, others raised concerns, primarily with respect whether CTF should finance carbon-based energy projects. To date, not passed legislation authorizing or appropriating contributions Fund.
