<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99248>*
[image: lead photo]JOHANNESBURG, 3 December 2013 (IRIN) - Several issues
around the UN mechanism that aims to curtail greenhouse gases by preventing
forest loss were resolved in Warsaw at the Conference of the Parties (COP)
to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the meeting
is being described by many as the "Forest COP".

[image: lead photo]MANILA/BANGKOK, 3 December 2013 (IRIN) - Back-to-back
emergencies during the last three months in the Philippines have exposed
the need for more psychosocial support (clinical and social assistance to
ease mental suffering) for local aid workers who are often the first
responders - even when they have also been seriously affected - but are
among the last to get help.

*Development work and the private sector - open for business?
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99250>*
[image: lead photo]NEW YORK, 3 December 2013 (IRIN) - The relationship
between businesses and non-profits has traditionally been an adversarial
one, with no shortage of mistrust between the two, who pursue seemingly
contradictory goals: profits on the one hand and solving the world's
problems on the other. But many players in the health sector now see a
shift in the way businesses, non-profits and governments are working
together.

*The politics of preventing genocide
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99253>*
[image: lead photo]NAIROBI, 3 December 2013 (IRIN) - A new book, Responding
to Genocide: The Politics of International Action, edited by Adam Lupel and
Ernesto Verdeja, argues that a lack of political will and an overly
stringent definition of genocide are major challenges to preventing,
intervening and stopping mass atrocities and genocide.

*Will private finance be available for climate adaptation?
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99259>*
[image: lead photo]JOHANNESBURG, 4 December 2013 (IRIN) - A commitment to
consistent and predictable sources of climate financing was one of the
issues that kept negotiators working overtime at the recent UN climate
talks in Warsaw, with poor countries insisting that money made available to
help them adapt to a changing climate has to come from public sources.

*The hidden crisis in urban slums
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99263>*
[image: lead photo]NAIROBI, 4 December 2013 (IRIN) - In Mathare, a
sprawling slum in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, children in tattered clothes
play with raw waste flowing from a burst sewage pipe. In the alley, crowded
with tin-and-wood shanties, a food kiosk filled with people feasting on
smoked fish stands on the burst pipe. Close by, a woman fries chopped
potatoes on an open fire.

following a coup in the Central African Republic (CAR) has left half the
