The Government is continuing to develop proposals for funding to Indonesia, the Amazon and other important regions, building on the UK’s existing partnerships in these areas. The UK’s investment in LEAF has helped bring other public and private funders on board, raising over £750m which will be used for technical assistance and carbon finance for developing countries.
