<p>The effects of Climate Change are already being felt across Asia and Africa, affecting
those least responsible most severely. These effects will worsen over time and are
for some already existential. To tackle this challenge, the UK is already engaging
with countries and regions across both continents, including at a sub-national level,
taking into account wide variations in economic development, emissions trajectory
and climate change vulnerability. There is no doubt, however, that more must be done
to deepen our mutual understanding and our practical and diplomatic cooperation with
both regions to succeed. This is why the government, including through the £5.8bn
of International Climate Finance, and relevant Prosperity Fund programmes, as well
as many UK businesses and non-government bodies, is working with countries in Asia
and Africa to increase their reliance to climate change, reduce emissions, and transition
to a sustainable low carbon economy.</p>
