(Bloomberg) — The U.S. is among at least 12 countries that have yet to cough up money promised for a United Nations fund to help developing economies cope with climate change.

Only $4 billion of the $10.2 billion pledged to the Green Climate Fund has been delivered as signed contributions, short of the $4.7 billion targeted before operations start, its Executive Director Hela Cheikhrouhou said. The U.S. has yet to fulfill its $3 billion pledge.
