UN suspends climate work with Myanmar government following military coup
The UN has suspended climate projects that require working with Myanmar’s military government following the 1 February coup and other international donors may follow suit, four experts have told Climate Home News.
“They haven’t officially announced the suspension but there are no more activities,” said a Myanmar expert who has been working on environmental projects with the government.
“What’s certain is a lot of the adaptation and mitigation work done with international support like the Green Climate Fund and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) will stop,” he added, requesting anonymity because it is a sensitive issue.
