Lots of countries have pledged money- in fact a total of $8.5 billion dollars has been pledged to help South Africa move to clean energy. It is the world’s most carbon intensive electricity producer.

 

The UK said it has found $130 trillion dollars of private finance to help finance net zero.

 

$100 billion dollars is needed to help countries adapt to the climate change that is already here. The following countries have so far committed money for adaptation: Norway, Japan, Australia, Switzerland, US, Canada, UK, Spain Japan Australia Norway Ireland Luxembourg.

 

Private financial institutions have pledged to align investments with net zero.

 

Five countries are involved in a trial to see how they can use this money to adapt to climate change-they are Bangladesh Fiji, Jamaica and Uganda.
