UK Falls Behind Germany on Climate Fund

LondonBritain cut its Green Climate Fund pledge for 2024–27 from £1.62 billion to £815 million, losing its top-donor position.

Germany, France, and Japan now hold larger pledges; the fund’s director warned of a “material impact” on 354 active projects.

Britain’s aid budget shifted toward defence — the largest inter-round cut by any major donor outside the US.
