President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. would resume its contributions to the UN’s flagship climate fund following a six-year hiatus with a new allocation of $1 billion to support climate-vulnerable developing countries. Despite contributing the least to the climate emergency, developing countries are among the most vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. As warming intensifies, developing countries are disproportionately bearing the burden of climate disruption and have fewer resources to recover from rapidly intensifying climate-induced disasters such as heat waves, floods, and droughts. “As large economies and large emitters, we must step up and support [developing] economies. So today, I’m pleased to announce the United States is going to provide $1 billion to the Green Climate Fund, a fund that is critical in ways to help developing nations that they can’t do now,” stated President Biden.

This is welcome news to countries on the front lines of climate change. Scientists warn that, without urgent action, rising global temperatures and sea levels could result in more frequent and severe weather events, like floods, droughts, heatwaves, and extreme storms, impacting communities and disrupting economies. The pledge from the United States will be crucial in helping nations tackle these challenges and put them on a more secure and sustainable trajectory.

This will be of immense value to developing countries especially in Africa whose contribution to the climate crisis is very little but are unfortunately clobbered with the most grievous climate catastrophes
