- reduced or avoided 68 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
- installed 3,300 megawatts of clean energy capacity

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).
