UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had named the High-level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing headed by PM Meles and the former British PM Gordon Brown.

Ban Ki-moon named the Group on Climate Change Financing that will work to mobilize the financing promised for climate change during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen last December.

The Secretary-General established the Group to study the potential sources of revenue for financing mitigation and adaptation activities in developing countries, and to make progress on this key issue in the course of 2010.

Norwegian PM Jens Stoltenberg is now elected to replace the former British PM Brown.

An official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told ENA later on Sunday that Meles and Stoltenberg are expected to meet in New York and discuss on potential sources of revenue for financing mitigation and adaptation activities.

Senior government officials saw off Meles upon departure at the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport
