    Combined with the UK’s decision to cut overseas aid from 0.7% of GDP per year to 0.5% – which some experts fear will encourage other rich nations to do the same – this doesn’t set the stage well for the Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow later this year.

    In this Guardian article, Amanda Khozi Mukwashi, the chief executive of Christian Aid, says: “In the year of Cop26, as host and significant emitter, all eyes are on the UK to lead the world in stepping up ambition on climate action. Vulnerable countries on the frontline of a climate emergency they did not cause need financial support. If the UK is to deliver a successful climate summit, then this week’s meeting must restore the much-needed aid, ensure that debts are cancelled, and commit the finance needed to help poorer nations adapt to a changing climate.”
