Details
From April 2011 to March 2021, it is estimated that International Climate Finance programmes have:
- directly supported 88 million people to cope with the effects of climate change
- provided 41 million people with improved access to clean energy
- reduced or avoided 51 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
- installed 2,400 megawatts of clean energy capacity
- mobilised £4.8 billion public and £3.2 billion private finance for climate change purposes in developing countries
Many of these programmes have long-lived benefits and will continue to deliver further results over the years to come
UK International Climate Finance (ICF) is a portfolio of investments with a goal to support international poverty eradication now and in the future. It aims to help developing countries manage risk and build resilience to the impacts of climate change, take up low-carbon development at scale and manage natural resources sustainably. Each year the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office sets out results from these investments against a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
This publication was updated on 1 November 2021 to correct an error in the reported results on some KPIs for one programme. These had been mistakenly included as achieved results, rather than expected total programme benefits, which inadvertently overstated achievements on these indicators.
