Climate change and nature loss are defining challenges of our generation. Working to reduce them is vital to UK interests at home and abroad.

Climate finance is a cornerstone of the global climate architecture. It strengthens the resilience of countries, economies and communities to climate shocks, mitigates greenhouse gas emissions and protects nature, through technical assistance, capacity building and investment.

This strategy sets out how the UK’s climate finance will deliver on 4 priorities:

1. Mobilise public and private finance at scale for climate and nature outcomes.
2. Transform the global energy system to deliver clean and affordable energy for all.
3. Accelerate a transition to climate resilient communities, economies and ecosystems.
4. Safeguard and sustain nature, including forests, oceans and coastal, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems.
