Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it will confirm the details of its Climate Justice Resilience Fund, and whether it will ensure that its Global South partners are involved in helping determine its priorities.
Answer
The Scottish Government has agreed to grant £1 million to the Climate Justice Resilience Fund to support their work to address the needs of communities suffering the most acute impacts of climate change and develop and test a framework for delivering loss & damage programming. We will be working with the Fund to develop further details on programming in the first quarter of 2022.
As in all Climate Justice Fund programming, the perspectives of communities will be central to the design and determination of priorities.
