The ASEAN-UK Green Transition Fund (GTF), with up to GBP 40 million from 2024-2029, is the UK’s flagship programme to accelerate ASEAN’s transition to a clean and climate resilient economy by reducing emissions in key sectors, supporting green economic growth, and improving livelihoods of vulnerable people.
The ASEAN-UK GTF will provide technical assistance activities throughout the region, targeting all ten ASEAN Member States (AMS), and Timor-Leste. It works with ASEAN institutions, such as the ASEAN Secretariat, ASEAN Centres and Facilities, and various ASEAN Entities and Sectoral Bodies.
The UK became a Dialogue Partner to ASEAN in 2021 and developed a 5-year ASEAN-UK Plan of Action (2022-2026). To deliver this, the UK has developed five flagship development programmes on economic integration; women, peace and security; advancing girls' education; and health security, in addition to this Green Transition Fund. The ASEAN-UK GTF is UK Mission to ASEAN's flagship programme on climate and environment.
The ASEAN-UK GTF will be delivered through the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transition (UK PACT) mechanism.
With 680 million people living in ASEAN countries facing climate-related risks, ASEAN is central to addressing the climate and environmental crises. ASEAN Heads of State continue to affirm their commitment to addressing climate change and achieving the UNFCCC goals. ASEAN-UK GTF is a key tool to support this commitment and enhance collaboration between the ASEAN Secretariat, ASEAN Member States, and the UK on climate actions. The ASEAN-UK GTF will support impactful projects through capacity-building, knowledge-sharing and peer to peer learning. It will also pilot transformational technologies and facilitate evidence-based climate mitigation actions and policies, with climate adaptation as a co-benefit.
The scope of ASEAN-UK GTF focuses on five pillars:
*Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) consists of 10 member states, including Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) is a unique capacity-building programme. Jointly governed and funded by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) through the UK's International Climate Finance, it works in partnership with countries with high emissions reduction potential to support them to implement and increase their ambitions for tackling climate change.
