<p>We do not allocate money from the ICF specifically to raise awareness of climate
change in developing countries.</p><p> </p><p>Nearly all developing countries signed
the 2015 Paris Agreement and they continue to be active in the international climate
negotiations. The Least Developed Country group (a bloc of 48 nations particularly
vulnerable to climate change) were among those calling on the United Nations Secretary
General to convene a climate summit in September this year to raise global ambition
on tackling climate change. The UK and Egypt, alongside Malawi, Bangladesh, the Netherlands
and St Lucia, are leading work to secure international commitments to take more action
to help countries cope with climate change impacts.</p><p> </p><p>Developing country
governments are already taking action themselves. For example, Bangladesh has introduced
a National Resilience Programme to ensure it has the capacity to respond to extreme
weather events, and the UK is assisting them with that. Bangladesh is one of the global
leaders in cutting the cost and impact of natural disasters.</p>
