From the Telegraph:

Headline from an article discussing the impact of a climate project on Ugandan villages, featuring the title 'Taxpayers helped foot bill for climate project that ‘destroyed’ Ugandan 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).

Meanwhile Ugandan farmers seem to be doing pretty well “despite” climate change.

It is the green lobby they should be more worried about!
