FY Conf Letter_Senate

A coalition of environmental, faith-based, and policy organizations is calling on the U.S. Senate to maintain $64.5 billion for foreign assistance and maximize international climate finance to meet President Biden's $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 these investments are essential for U.S. national security, global stability, and international credibility.

• The coalition requests that the U.S. Senate retain $64.5 billion for foreign assistance programs and aim for international climate finance levels as close as possible to President Biden's $11.4 billion commitment, ensuring at least $3.76 billion as specified in 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, as it addresses causes of instability such as water scarcity and decreased agricultural production in climate-vulnerable developing countries.
