On Wednesday, November 09, 2022, Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault announced $14.25 million worth of new funding as part of Canada’s commitment to provide $5.3 billion to poorer countries over five years. The funding announced in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, includes $5 million to the Climate Finance Access Network, an organization that deploys climate finance advisers to developing countries, and $1.25 million to support the Santiago Network, a United Nations body that similarly connects technical expertise to countries that need it. Guilbeault also pledged $7 million to the Global Shield Financing Facility to help vulnerable countries become more resilient to climate change.
