FY23 Conf letter_House

A coalition of development, faith-based, and environmental organizations is calling on the U.S. House of Representatives to maintain $64.5 billion for foreign assistance and maximize international climate finance for FY23. The group advocates for funding levels that align with President Biden's $11.4 billion commitment, specifically requesting $1.275 billion for bilateral environment programs and $2.485 billion for multilateral assistance, including $1.6 billion for the Green Climate Fund.

• The coalition requests the retention of $64.5 billion for U.S. foreign assistance programs in the FY23 appropriations bills and urges funding for international climate finance to approach President Biden's $11.4 billion commitment, noting that at least $3.76 billion should be delivered as per S. 4662.
• The document 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, which includes $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 essential for U.S. national security and global influence, as it addresses causes of instability such as water scarcity and decreased agricultural production in developing countries.
