Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity with implications on health, agriculture, economy, trade, and transportation and energy infrastructure that is being felt by all countries. Developing countries, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable, are the hardest hit by climate change and many have limited capacity to prevent and cope with its consequences.
Canada’s international climate finance supports a wide range of programs and initiatives that help developing countries manage risks and build resilience to the impacts of climate change, deploy clean energy technology, and manage natural resources sustainably.
Canada is delivering $2.65 billion in climate finance to developing countries by 2020-21.
This contribution represents Canada’s largest climate finance contribution ever and will help developing countries, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable, transition to low-carbon economies and build climate resilience. This website provides information on how Canada will be supporting ambitious climate action in developing countries through this $2.65 billion pledge, including recent announcements made by Canada as part of this pledge.
This website also provides information on initiatives that have been undertaken from previous climate-specific support, such as concrete results in developing countries.
