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.

*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.

*Outrage, scepticism at Uganda U-turn on LGBTI clinics
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99289>*
[image: lead photo]KAMPALA, 9 December 2013 (IRIN) - Eighteen months after
slamming activists who opened a clinic for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people in Kampala, Uganda's health
ministry has decided it was a good idea after all and has begun setting up
similar facilities, prompting outrage from the Ministry for Ethics and
Integrity and scepticism from some in civil society.

[image: lead photo]TOKYO, 9 December 2013 (IRIN) - Relief will be more
easily and quickly available, and the economic fallout much more
manageable, if governments project and plan fiscally for potential natural
disasters and their human and economic toll well in advance, experts say.

*Look at growth and governance, not poverty, says report
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99305>*
[image: lead photo]LONDON, 11 December 2013 (IRIN) - Daniel Runde, of the
Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), has
just lobbed a firecracker into the debate over the future of aid and
development. Now is the time, he says, for donor countries to shift their
focus away from alleviating poverty. It is time, instead, he says, to
concentrate on helping developing countries reach a position from which
they can end poverty and deliver social goods for themselves.

[image: lead photo]JOHANNESBURG, 11 December 2013 (IRIN) - Nomsa*, 20, was
on her way to register at a university outside Pretoria, South Africa, with
four friends when the men grabbed her. "I was fighting with them," she
said. They dragged her into a building, where the five of them took turns
to rape her. The friends ran away and did not come back to look for her.
The men took Nomsa's mobile phone.

*Analysis: Stopping disease swaps between humans and animals
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99323>*
[image: lead photo]HONG KONG, 13 December 2013 (IRIN) - With more than half
of all human infections originating in animals, experts say a
multi-sectoral, global response to zoonoses - diseases passing between
animals and humans - is urgently needed. IRIN talked to a panel of experts
to learn just how deadly humans and animals can be to one another, and
ultimately how each can save the other.
