The UK is committed to working with Guatemala to achieve its climate goals and to protect the country’s vital forests and biodiversity.
Environment Secretary George Eustice said:

“This support will help Guatemala to reduce deforestation, adapt to the impacts of climate change and build a more sustainable future.
“The UK is committed to working with Guatemala and other countries to tackle the climate crisis and protect our planet for future generations.”
