UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) is a flagship programme under the UK’s International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio. UK PACT funds projects which support partner countries eligible for Official Development Assistance (ODA) to implement and increase their ambitions for carbon emissions reductions in line with their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). All UK PACT projects work to accelerate partner countries’ transition to low carbon development. UK PACT delivers impact through a combination of grant funding for longer term capacity-building projects and the rapid mobilisation of short term expertise for skill-shares and secondment opportunities. The Country Programmes aspect of the project works in Colombia, Mexico, Kenya, South Africa and Indonesia (and previously in China and Malasysia)
