Carnegie–Tsinghua’s Wang Tao appeared on CCTV News' China 24 to discuss energy-related development aid. With an eye toward the November 2013 Warsaw Climate Change Conference, Wang suggested that while progress has been made, traditional donor countries are not meeting the expectations of developing countries. 

Wang acknowledged that the slow improvements to aid from developed countries are a consequence of the massive financial crisis since 2008. This has led to a strong demand for aid from fast emerging economies like China and India. The Chinese and international delegations will aim to strike a balance at the Warsaw Climate Change Conference to help developing countries adapt to climate change without being hampered by the temporary economic crisis in developed countries.

This interview was originally aired on CCTV News.
