Only 3% of international climate aid going to transitioning communities: ‘This is absurd’

A recent report reveals that a mere 3% of international climate aid is directed towards supporting communities transitioning away from polluting industries. This shocking statistic highlights a significant gap in funding for a just transition, which is crucial for workers affected by climate change. With major United Nations climate negotiations set to begin in Belém, Brazil, this issue is more pressing than ever, as it underscores the need for a more equitable distribution of resources to ensure that vulnerable communities are not left behind in the fight against climate change.
