The climate

International Climate Finance (ICF) has been supporting forest-focused projects in Brazil for ten years. For the UK, ensuring that the value of preserved forests is recognised today is strategic for scaling up investment, including from the private sector. ICF coordinates the UK government’s efforts to tackle and mitigate the effects of climate change and to promote the energy transition and sustainable agriculture.

External subheading: As severe natural disasters have stricken Brazil’s cities, exposing the country’s vulnerability to extreme weather, the energy transition is increasingly seen as more than just an environmental priority; it’s a factor in economic and geopolitical security. The UK has been working in partnership with Brazil on several fronts in this sector, including trade ties, government partnerships and funding programmes.
