EU leaders bridged a rift between rich and poorer member states after two days of summit talks. It enables them to agree a joint position for talks in Copenhagen in December.
The move is a victory for the Prime Minister, who had warned the summit that failure to include figures would risk the breakdown of UN talks.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the financial cost should not be included in the EU's proposed package of ambitious climate change targets - at least not until other nations signal their readiness to pay their share.
But the summit text puts a 100 billion euros-a-year (£89.6 billion) price on curbing global warming by 2020.
UK officials say that, subject to the "conditional offer" being accepted in Copenhagen, the UK share of the EU contribution would work out at about £1bn a year by 2020.
