MP backs climate change investment
GOSPORT MP Caroline Dinenage has backed the government’s move to combat climate change.
The government has announced this week at the UN General Assembly in New York it will double its investment to developing countries through the UK’s international climate finance (ICF).
It is estimated that 100 million people could be forced into poverty by 2030 due to climate change.
The UK will now commit at least £11.6b over the next five years to the developing world who are most affected by climate change.
Ms Dinenage said: ‘Our planet is facing the unprecedented challenge of climate change, one that could irreversibly alter the face of our planet. Sadly, it is the poorest communities and helpless animals that often are hit hardest.
‘I am very pleased the prime minister has announced further action to not only help communities adapt but also tackle the source of the problem.’
