Japan renews support to developing countries on climate change with new $23.6 million package

1 May,  New York – Japan and UNDP have joined forces for another set of funding to support climate action, drive green transformation, and ensure climate-resilient sustainable development. 

 

The second phase of the Japan Supplementary Budget funds seeks to respond to the growing demand of developing countries supported by UNDP to take climate action and deliver on national climate pledges (also known as NDC), while also addressing complex current crises that pose a critical threat to global human security. 

 

Priorities of the new support package include increasing resilience and adapting to climate impacts on food security; reducing risk from climate-induced events such as floods and mudslides, and driving innovation to urgently advance renewable energy, sustainable transportation, energy efficiency and energy access for the most vulnerable communities.
