Subhead:The $9.15 billion UN Climate Finance Programming, meant to aid developing nations with climate change, was reviewed and found to lack clear commitment-level results.#
An internal report reveals that a costly federal climate program, expanded by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a failed 2020 UN Security Council campaign, became a “tick box exercise” for managers.
Foreign Affairs staff found budget targets “challenging” and “questioned whether disbursements prioritized meeting targets without knowing what results were achieved,” according to the report.
Cabinet committed $9.15 billion to its Climate Financing Program, with $6.2 billion spent, primarily in Asia ($2.19 billion) and Africa ($1.96 billion), according to Blacklock’s.
