The UK’s International Climate Fund (ICF) was set up to drive urgent action against climate change in developing countries. Originally, the government sourced the ICF with £ 3.87 billion for the years 2011 – 2016. In a replenishment round, the government pledged another £ 5.8 billion for the years 2016 – 2021. ICF is co-funded, co-managed and co-administered by three governmental departments, namely, Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, Department for International Development, and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
