<p>Recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Reports state that global
temperatures and sea levels are rising and are expected to continue doing so. Least
Developed Countries are expected to be most vulnerable to the impacts of future global
temperature increases, being least able to cope with the impacts.</p><p> </p><p>The
UK remains committed to help developing countries build their resilience to the impacts
of climate change and support low carbon, sustainable growth. The UK has committed
to provide £5.8 billion of International Climate Finance from the UK aid budget from
2016/17 to 2020/21, and at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in September 2019
announced a doubling to £11.6 billion from 2021/22 to 2025/26.</p><p> </p><p>In 2018
the UK provided International Climate Finance directly to the following Least Developed
Countries through its bilateral programming in country, and expects to spend across
a similar geographical footprint in 2019:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Afghanistan</p></td><td><p>Rwanda</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bangladesh</p></td><td><p>Sierra
Leone</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ethiopia</p></td><td><p>Somalia</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Madagascar</p></td><td><p>South
Sudan</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Malawi</p></td><td><p>Sudan</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mozambique</p></td><td><p>Tanzania</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Myanmar</p></td><td><p>Uganda</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nepal</p></td><td><p>Zambia</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Of the countries above, Bangladesh, Madagascar, Mozambique, Myanmar, Sierra
Leone, Somalia, Sudan and Tanzania are coastal and are likely to be adversely impacted
by rising sea levels.</p>
