Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Good to see the UK step up and increase its funding for International Development Association (IDA) the part of the World Bank which funds (among other things) climate projects in low-income countries.

Critics will argue in a fiscally constrained UK should not be raising the amount passed to the IDA, but while there are good moral reasons for funding the IDA, it also begins to make good on green promises that will help us all deal with the climate crisis.
