Secretary of State Hillary Clinton vows the US will help raise $100 billion a year for climate aid to developing countries by 2020 if its requirements for a climate change pledge are met. The US insists that funding will only be granted if developing countries allow for full transparency of their emissions.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is the 67th United States Secretary of State, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama.
She was a United States Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009. As the wife of Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, she was the First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001. She was a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2008 election.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the willingness of the US to help raise $100 billion annually in climate aid for developing countries hinges upon carbon emissions transparency from industrial countries like China.
"If there isn't a commitment for transparency of some sort, that would be a deal breaker," says Clinton.
