Funding arrangements for the upcoming UN climate conference may be in disarray after local reports suggested contributions from the local mining industry to the Chilean authorities were to be slashed.

Mining is Chile’s biggest industry and is intensive in terms of its associated water, energy and associated carbon emissions.
