UK international climate finance: Building resilience and catalysing the global low carbon transition: A UK government commitment

Climate change is a global challenge that affects us all. No country is projected to be spared from the impacts of further global temperature increases and we are already facing serious challenges to the natural environment; to food production; and to water resources. Without concerted global action to limit and manage the impact of climate change, we could reverse the huge gains in global poverty reduction which the UK has helped achieve over the last 3 decades. UK International Climate Finance (ICF) plays a crucial role in addressing this global challenge.

ICF delivers all 4 aims of the UK aid strategy:

1. Strengthening global peace, security and governance;
2. Strengthening resilience and response to crises;
3. Promoting global prosperity; and
4. Tackling extreme poverty and helping the world's most vulnerable.
