In the past several years there has been a great deal of energy devoted to mobilizing aid agencies to address climate change challenges in the developing world. Predominant multilateral development organizations have aggressively positioned themselves to manage a growing number of special adaptation and mitigation funds, such as the Climate Investment Funds and the proposed Copenhagen Green Fund.
