FY23 Conf Letter_Biden

A coalition of development, faith-based, and environmental organizations requests that the U.S. government maintain $64.5 billion for foreign assistance in FY23 and maximize international climate finance to meet a $11.4 billion commitment. The letter specifies funding targets for bilateral programs, including adaptation and renewable energy, and multilateral funds such as the Green Climate Fund. The authors argue that such investments are essential for U.S. national security, global stability, and international credibility.

• The coalition requests the retention of $64.5 billion for U.S. foreign assistance programs in the FY23 appropriations bills and urges the administration to approach President Biden's $11.4 billion commitment for international climate finance, specifically requesting no less than the $3.76 billion included in Senate bill S. 4662.
• The letter specifies a request for $1.275 billion for Bilateral Economic Assistance environment programs, with allocations of $550 million for adaptation, $425 million for renewable energy, and $300 million for sustainable landscapes.
• The coalition advocates for $2.485 billion in multilateral assistance, including $1.6 billion for the Green Climate Fund (GCF), $150.2 million for the Global Environment Facility (GEF), $100 million for the Adaptation Fund and Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), $64 million for the Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund (MLF), and $21 million for the UNFCCC and IPCC.
• The authors argue that international climate finance is critical for U.S. national security and global influence, stating that failure to lead in this area compromises U.S. credibility and that investing in the resilience of developing communities mitigates future costs in humanitarian aid.
