Three weeks ahead of the Cancun Climate Change Conference, a high-level UN advisory group has presented a report with suggestions to come up with $ 100 billion a year by 2020, including tax on international flights, for poor countries to combat global warming.

The 21-member advisory group is co-chaired by Prime Ministers Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia and Jens Stoltenberg of Norway. The group was set up in February and includes Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia, philanthropist George Soros and British academic Nicholas Stern.

“The Advisory Group has given us a path. It is now up to Governments to consider the options and to act,” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told journalists.

“This is not about charity. It is about doing the right thing for those who are suffering most from a crisis that they did least to cause,” he said.

Financing could come from different private and public sources, according to the report, which also recommended a hike in taxes for carbon emissions.

Some of the possible revenue sources, according to the group, are -- a tax or trading system for fuel emissions of international airliners and merchant ships, or a fee on air tickets, with a potential for $ 10 billion a year and a levy on foreign-exchange transactions which could raise $ 10 billion.
