The US has stalled the disbursement of a $2.6 billion local weather finance bundle meant for South Africa, sparking fears the funds could also be withheld totally. This improvement comes after US representatives blocked the payout of $500 million from the World Financial institution-linked Local weather Funding Funds (CIF) to Pretoria. The disbursement of that fund might have unlocked a further $2.1 billion from different monetary sources. This delay provides to a sequence of actions by the Trump administration scaling again US participation in international local weather initiatives, together with exiting the UN local weather harm fund. The transfer raises considerations about the way forward for local weather help for growing nations like South Africa.
