Oxfam response to the ICAI review of the government’s international climate finance commitments

“The Government’s sums on climate finance simply don’t add up and this creative accounting does nothing to help people in lower-income countries - those least responsible for the climate crisis - deal with the devastating impacts they are facing.

“Instead of raiding a dwindling aid budget, the UK should be setting an example and increasing climate funding by making the biggest and richest polluters carry a fairer share of the cost.

“With the super-rich amassing yet more wealth and fossil fuel producers reaping billions in profits, it is clearly the fairest solution.”
