Tell your Senators to Support $500 million for the Green Climate Fund that is essential to combating global climate change.
Dear Florida State Senator Thad Altman;
A key aspect of addressing global climate change is building the capacity of developing countries to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was conceived in 2009 to help poor and vulnerable countries address these challenges.
More than 30 countries—including the US—have already pledged $10.2 billion to get the fund up and running. In his current budget proposal, President Obama requested $500 million for the GCF as the first installment of the US four-year pledge. To maintain US leadership in addressing the global climate challenge, Congress must approve this request.

People in developing countries suffer disproportionately from climate disasters that threaten their health and livelihoods. These countries must have the funds needed to adapt to climate change and move forward with sustainable clean energy.
In his current budget, President Obama has requested $500 million to help establish the fund. To date, no less than 30 countries have pledged more than $10 billion to GCF, including investments of $1.5 billion from Japan, $1.2 billion from the UK, and $1 billion each from France and Germany.
Both Republican and Democratic administrations have made international climate action a priority. The George W. Bush Administration pledged an ambitious $2 billion to the World Bank's Climate Investment Funds. President Obama's $500 million request for the GCF represents a small, but critical investment to maintain our country's bipartisan commitment to global climate action.
I ask you to support funding for the GCF in the FY16 Department of State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs Appropriations Bill.
Sincerely,
Cheri Newman
