Development Banks Collaborate to Support Cities' Climate Actions DURBAN, South Africa, December 19, 2011 (ENS) - Five multilateral development banks have formed a new partnership to combat climate change. At the United Nations climate conference in Durban earlier this month, the banks said they will develop a common approach for cities to assess climate risk, standardize greenhouse gas emissions inventories, and encourage a consistent suite of climate finance options. The five banks, in total, lend some US$8.4 billion annually for climate action in cities.

The measures aim to protect aquatic life in waterways and seas around Europe. Some EU countries already have phosphorus restrictions in place, particularly for laundry detergents. The new legislation will mean companies will be able to work under one set of rules, instead of differing ones across the 27 Member States.
