MediansPopulation Density vs Night LightsPopulation Density (ppl km^2 )Fig. 4.9 Scatter plots of night lights versus population. Panels show data for the United States,
Europe, China, India, and Africa for 2015. Speckles are individual VIIRS night lights versus popu-
lation density, from the 0.125° × 0.125° grid of the specific country or continent. The largest col-
ored circles for each panel show the median values of night lights and population, after the data has
been grouped into 20 bins. The smaller colored circles show the 25th and 75th percentile of the
data in these bins; the black circles show the 5th and 95th percentile. The last panel compares
medians for the five geographic regions. See Methods for further information
$10.2 billion USD from 42 governments The GCF goal is to collect and disburse
$100 billion USD per year by 2020. While it would be foolish to sneer at such a

funded as the GCF, at present. Also, the GCF is mentioned in a more prominent fashion.
