RFUK JOINS CALL FOR UK TO HONOUR ITS INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE COMMITMENT
July 7, 2023
RFUK has joined 91 other UK civil society organisations from environment, international development, education, trade union, disability inclusion, trade, humanitarian, business and faith groups in writing to the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak today to demand that he keeps his promise on climate finance.
In response to recent claims that the UK government has 'effectively abandoned' its commitment to provide £11.6 billion climate finance between April 2021 and March 2026, we call for the government to fulfil its commitment and urgently demonstrate how it will be met.
Joe Eisen, RFUK Executive Director said, 'In recent years, the UK has shown real leadership in galvanising international support for tropical forests and for the rights of Indigenous Peoples and other communities who call them home. As the climate crisis comes into ever sharper focus, now is the time to accelerate support to frontline communities, not abandon them'.
