BT: German chancellor Angela Merkel is calling for the G7 powers to throw their weight behind a pledge to find 100 billion dollars (65 billion) to help poor countries tackle climate change. Ms Merkel, who hosts the G7 summit starting on Sunday, cautioned against comparing the meeting with full-fledged climate negotiations, but said the world's leading industrial powers should send a signal ahead of a climate conference in Paris in December.

With less than two years in office she focused on one major theme: the fight against climate change.

Germany Merkel Seeks Global Emissions-Trading Market Protect Climate
2015-05-18 14:39:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: German Chancellor Angela Merkel is seeking a global emissions-trading system to help curb climate change. Nations should identify their climate-protection targets quickly and live up to financial-aid promises made to poor nations, she said. Extending Europes emissions-trading system, the worlds largest, to other regions would level the playing field, Merkel said Saturday in her weekly video message. It would also enable us to extend certificate trading to more areas, Merkel said. Germany,...
