Gavin Crowden, director of advocacy at WWF, responded to the UK Government announcement on Overseas Development Aid

"It’s deeply concerning to see international climate funding slashed at such a key moment. Failing to recommit a third of the remaining climate finance to investing in nature abroad - such as tropical forests and oceans - is bitterly disappointing. The government’s own assessment found that ‘global ecosystem degradation and collapse threaten UK national security and prosperity’, which makes the lack of action on this truly astonishing."
