8.  Better seed and sustainability practices to help resist climate change, increase yields and reduce emissions  Expand irrigation and infrastructure  Drought resistant crops  More aid from rich nations

9.  Aid from rich nations to help developing nations  European Union agreed to pay $10.5 billion over the next three years to help poor countries combat global warming  Developing world needs $100 billion/year  Industrialized countries pledged to work towards an emissions limit less than 2 o C above temperatures in the 1800’s  Copenhagen conference on climate change  Rich countries required to meet reduction goals  Developing countries required to audit and report activities they do to reduce emissions  $30 bil will go to developing countries to deal with global warming and sustainable development  Developed countries will spend $100 billion a year on climate change
