U.S. Denies Bolivia and Ecuador Climate Funds. By Juliet Eilperin, WashPost, April 9, 2010. "You can decide to boycott the Copenhagen Accord -- but that comes at a price. For Bolivia, that's $3 million; for Ecuador, it's $2.5 million... Both nations were in line for funding under the Obama administration's Global Climate Change initiative... After reassessing the budget, State has decided to deny both Bolivia and Ecuador climate assistance. Since all these funding decisions are subject to congressional concurrence, the process is not complete, but it clearly reflects administration policy. 'There's funding that was agreed to as part of the Copenhagen Accord, and as a general matter, the U.S. is going to use its funds to go to countries that have indicated an interest to be part of the Accord,' said U.S. special climate envoy Todd Stern."
