As COP President, the UK worked with all Parties towards delivering on the Glasgow Climate Pact and raising the highest possible ambition to keep 1.5 in reach. Our Presidency year drove action and ambition with our global partners with over 90% of world GDP now covered by net zero commitments. In addition, the UK's International Climate Finance (ICF) supports developing countries to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change. The UK is delivering on our commitment to double ICF to £11.6 billion between 2021/22 and 2025/26, seeking balance between adaptation and mitigation funding. ICF Results Publication 2022 [DRAFT] - Official Sensitive (publishing.service.gov.uk); helping over 95 million people cope with the effects of climate change, providing 58 million people with improved access to clean energy and reducing or avoiding 68 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
