Ukef

A UKEF spokesperson told the Guardian: “We are firmly committed to supporting the UK’s transition towards a low-carbon economy as part of our 2050 net zero target.

A report by Greenpeace and Newsnight that UKEF spent billions of pounds abroad supporting fossil fuel projects that will emit an estimated 69 million tonnes of carbon a year.

There is also concern that the new rules for UKEF should also extend to the government’s official overseas aid budget.

With scientists advising that we have 12 years to cut fossil fuels and limit climate change to 1.5 degrees, the UK should end to UKEF’s support for fossil fuel projects, starting with Argentina.
