South African President Jacob Zuma has urged African leaders attending global climate talks, to stand firm on demands that poor countries should receive money to meet pollution targets.

Speaking in Zambia where he is on a state visit, Zuma said African leaders will go to Copenhagen next week and strongly push the position of the African continent.

He said developing countries will commit to nationally appropriate mitigation action to achieve a decline in their emissions on condition that they receive finance, technology and capacity building support from developed countries.

Zuma is to attend the Copenhagen climate summit next week along with about 100 world leaders.
