The UK’s 50% cut to Green Climate Fund commitment is a fundamental breach of trust that undermines UK credibility as a global partner.

Cuts to UK Aid are already leading to so much suffering - and so much more to come
Thankful to @JohnSwinney for continuing to fly the flag for aid & development spending, which provides a lifeline for people in extreme poverty around the world

COP30 is coming towards its final stages.
What happens in the next few hours is crucial to continued progress of climate action (inadequate as it is) and global cooperation across the board
Thanks to @sccscot and the @TheScotsman

Delighted the @scotgov is backing the #DebtJustice campaign. We need a new UK Debt Justice Law to make private lenders join fair debt relief when countries face crisis — not sue them for repayment. Proud of @sciaf, @CAFOD, @christianaidsco & @iamCARITAS for leading this call. 🌍

Pleased to see @JohnSwinney supporting the Jubilee campaign "Cancel Debt, Choose Hope" 34 African countries spend more on debt repayments than on health or education. All within a system rigged against them. I'm proud Scotland is showing global leadership on this issue.

Scotland’s aid budget is too modest to be about any major soft power gains, but big enough to do a tremendous amount of good in the world

In a joint statement ahead of COP30, Pax Christi International, Caritas Internationalis and CIDSE urge immediate action to care for creation because “there can be no true peace without climate justice”.

“Malawi urgently requires adequate and timely financing for Loss and Damage associated with climate change impacts,” he says.

Aid cuts are already driving more global instability, exacerbating conflicts and deepening extreme poverty - forcing more and more people to flee their homes.
Counting these costs as ODA is foolish and wrong. This government really needs to start thinking global and long term
