Cumbre de la ONU sobre cambio climático 2011, Durban

At the start of the second week of UN climate negotiations in Qatar, young activists from around the world joined with Oxfam to call for countries to adopt a Financial Transaction Tax or‘Robin Hood’ tax to raise money to tackle climate change.

Twelve EU Member States are set to implement the tax next year, including Germany, France and Italy. On 4 December, EU finance ministers will meet in Brussels where they have a chance to discuss how much revenue from the tax could go towards investing in low-carbon development and supporting poor countries as they adapt to the effects of climate change.

Originally proposed at the Copenhagen climate talks in 2009, the Green Climate Fund is meant to provide funds to help poor countries cope as climate change kicks in and as weather becomes more extreme and unpredictable. But three years on, and as initial funding runs out, the Fund remains empty.

In these photos, from Oxfam's opening media stunt at UN climate talks in Doha, people representing recent extreme weather events– including Superstorm Sandy, the Sahel drought and the Pakistan floods – face a closed bank teller with the amount each disaster cost.

Climate 'fiscal cliff' looms for developing countries if leaders come to Doha with no new money

At the final day of the United Nations climate negotiations for 2011, countries received their biggest shaming yet for blocking greater progress in the talks. With the final outcome of negotiations not yet decided, it was at least clear enough which nations had done their worst in the last day and the entire two weeks. New Zealand took the infamous 1st prize for its strongest statement yet against continuing Kyoto. But Canada earned yet another Colossal Fossil for scoring the most dirty points at these negotiations.
