ASEAN-UK
Green Transition Fund

The ASEAN-UK GTF provides 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 is 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 supports impactful projects through capacity-building, knowledge-sharing and peer to peer learning. It also pilots transformational technologies and facilitates evidence-based climate mitigation actions and policies, with climate adaptation as a co-benefit.
