(£200 million) and South Africa's Just Energy Transition ($1.8 billion). At the Africa
Climate Summit (4-6 September) the Minister for Climate and the Environment, The Rt
Hon Andrew Mitchell MP, reaffirmed the Government's commitment to spend £11.6 billion
on international climate finance, with approximately 40 per cent of this being spent
on Africa. Minister Mitchell also announced projects worth £49 million to help African

and at-risk communities.</p>
