The Scottish Government has announced £375,000 for three international climate programmes. The funding covers disability inclusion in climate negotiations, human rights work and support for regions seeking finance for resilience projects.
Disability inclusion and human rights
Christian Blind Mission will receive £100,000 to help disabled people’s organisations take part in international climate talks. A further £165,000 will continue Scottish support for the UN Special Rapporteur on Climate Change and Human Rights.
Resilience project finance
The remaining £110,000 will extend funding for the Regions4 Just Resilience Action Platform. The platform helps regions in the Global South develop projects that can attract climate finance and connect with donors. Scotland holds the presidency of Regions4.
