BREAKING: United States announces $3 billion commitment to the Green Climate Fund, the largest international fund dedicated to climate action. The funding commitment by the United States helps push the Green Climate Fund beyond the previous record replenishment and supports climate resilience in developing countries. We encourage leaders to continue raising ambition and unlock vital funding to deliver for those communities most vulnerable to climate change. #COP28 #UniteActDeliver
