<p>The UK Government is delivering the £5.8 billion of climate finance we pledged
to provide between 2016 and 2021, and we are committed to ensuring we use this funding
to best effect. Since 2011 we have supported 47 million people to cope with the effects
of climate change, and 17 million to access clean energy.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
is playing a strong role in ensuring developed countries fulfil the collective commitment
to mobilise $100 billion in climate finance by 2020 from public and private sources.
For DFID a key part of this is working with the multilateral agencies which DFID funds,
most notably the World Bank and Regional Development Banks, so that they make their
best contribution to tackling climate change effectively.</p>
