<p>The impacts of climate change will disproportionately affect the lives of the poorest
and most marginalised. The UK’s aid programme, including our international climate
finance, prioritises the interests of the world’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged.
Our international response to COVID-19 is focused on securing a strong global health
response, in particular supporting countries most vulnerable to the impact of the
virus, accelerating the search for a vaccine and new treatments and supporting the
global economy. We recognise that there is a connection between healthy lives, healthy
societies and a healthy environment.</p><p>The steps taken to rebuild economies will
have a profound impact on future sustainability, resilience and wellbeing. The Prime
Minister recently addressed a high-level event at the invitation of the United Nations
Secretary General focussed on ‘recovering better for sustainability,’ and as we prepare
for COP26, we are urging the world to take the opportunity to make the recovery clean,
inclusive and resilient.</p>
