In October 2021 New Zealand committed to spend NZ $1.3 billion in grant-based climate finance between 2022 and 2025.
This underlines the importance New Zealand attaches to global and regional efforts to work together to combat climate change.
At least half of this climate finance commitment will support Pacific Island countries and at least 50 percent will target adaptation, a key priority for the Pacific.
Our new commitment builds on earlier climate finance – see History of climate finance.
