Zac, lord goldsmith, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me. Its a pleasure to have you here. Just a couple of months ago, you left rishi sunak s government and, as you left, you lobbed a political grenade in his direction. Why did you do that . My concern is that, you know, im maybe a rare thing, a minister who cares passionately, or cared passionately about my portfolio. And ifound myjob was becoming untenable, it was becoming impossible for me to go forward. It was becoming virtually impossible to prevent government from sliding back. And the key issue is this pledge which was made by borisjohnson, repeated by liz truss, repeated a few times by rishi sunak around International Climate finance, from which so much of what the uk has done over the last few years flows, and that pledge was being broken. You say, because it was a pledge of something over. £11. 6 billion over five years. Over five years to be invested in International Climate change programmes and efforts. Yes. You

aid budget by 2026 to reach it. earlier, i spoke with michael wilkins, executive director of the centre for climate finance and investment at imperial college london. it s a little bit of a surprise if indeed it s true that the government will be remeasuring on its previous commitments of international climate finance, especially given that we re in the run up to the next climate change summit taking place in november, in the united arab emirates where this topic is bound to come up. and the uk s commitments, which were hopeful in glasgow only two years ago at cop26, will be looked into question. so it was a bit surprising when i saw it this morning. what kind of difference is this money do to make? due to make? well, you have to put into context, really, in terms of the amount of funding required to tackle the causes and the effects of climate change in the developing world. the poorer countries need massive amounts of investment, and they are just not getting it. you kno
