Canada announced up to $116 million in new international climate-finance support at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, on November 13. Environment and Climate Change Canada says the funding will support projects that help developing and emerging economies respond to climate risks and reduce emissions.
The announcement is the first new investment identified under Ottawa’s aim to deliver $13 billion in climate-related support to developing countries over five years. The government says funding will involve multiple federal organizations and financing partners.
A department backgrounder outlines 12 projects intended to strengthen the policy, regulatory and institutional foundations for climate adaptation and mitigation. The November announcement describes funding commitments, not completed projects.
Ottawa argues that international climate action also matters for Canadian supply chains, food security and economic resilience. The government cites projected long-term impacts of earlier Canadian climate financing; these estimates should not be treated as measured results of the new $116-million announcement.
