Bloomberg Philanthropies said Friday it will pull
together $15 million to "support the operations" of the United Nation's
Framework Convention on Climate Change, the arm of the UN that
coordinates the Paris pact.
The $15 million
would cover the U.S. share of the convention's operating budget,
according to Bloomberg spokesperson Carl Pope. The money will come from
Bloomberg Philanthropies and its partners.
"The pledge aims to
fill a significant funding gap that comes as a result of President
Donald Trump's announced withdrawal from the Paris agreement and
proposed steep budget cuts for international programs, including on
climate," the Bloomberg Philanthropies statement reads.
