<p>At COP26, 141 countries committed to halting and reversing forest loss and land
degradation by 2030 in the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forest and Land Use, this
is underpinned by almost $20 billion of public and private finance. In the activities
supported by the pledge we will promote the full, effective, and willing participation
of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in programmes that protect and restore
forests, reduce deforestation and forest degradation, and we will work to ensure that
benefits reach smallholders and local communities.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>At
COP26 the UK launched in partnership with Fiji a Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance,
to improve access to financial flows for the most vulnerable. This proposes a new
approach which aims to deliver a transformational step change in access at the national
and local levels and to spur a related shift in the wider public climate finance architecture,
improving the predictability, flexibility, transparency, affordability, and speed
of disbursement of climate finance.</p><p> </p>
