Taxpayers helped foot bill for climate project that ‘destroyed’ villages
The £33m aid project was designed to help poor Ugandan farmers deal with the impact of climate change.
But the reality saw their crops and homes destroyed in an “inhuman” project that left them “on the brink of starvation”.
Local government officials, who were guarded by armed security forces, razed crops, trees and homes as they claimed to be re-wilding wetland in a project run by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which has received £2.6bn in UK taxpayers’ money.
It is one of a number of controversial projects uncovered in a seven-month investigation by The Telegraph into how the Government is spending £11.6bn in International Climate Finance (ICF).
On Friday, The Telegraph revealed how the public has paid for a £52m road to nowhere through the jungle in Guyana, rusting solar panels on schools in Zimbabwe and condoms in the Congo all under the guise of climate aid.
Do the GCF and UK taxpayers understand what their votes have done?
It comes as Sir Keir Starmer prepares to meet with world leaders at next week’s Cop30 summit in Brazil, where his spokesman said he would be “driving forward the agenda” on “restoring the UK as a global leader on climate action and green growth”.
But his government will face questions at home over their green agenda amid revelations that dozens of the programmes have been beset with allegations of fraud and waste.
The Telegraph can reveal that taxpayer money has also been spent on programmes accused of human rights abuses and for solar panels for one of the world’s richest hotel chains.
This is a very long article highlighting how bad and how fraudulent things are in this climate scam program.
