UK government pledges £720 million

20 November, 2014

In response to the UK government committing to give £720 million to the UN's Green Climate Fund, Ruth Davies, Policy Director at Greenpeace UK, said :

"This investment in cleaner and smarter development is a vital step towards securing a new global climate deal. It also makes sound economic sense. Helping counties prepare for the impacts of droughts and floods will reduce the amount of support needed to manage the impacts of extreme weather in the future.  Clean energy in developing nations can deliver access to basic services for millions, without increasing climate pollution."
