Revealed: Guyana's £52m road to nowhere - that British taxpayers are funding
https://ift.tt/w1mrL8i
In Guyana, British taxpayers are funding a £52 million road project deep within the Amazon rainforest. This initiative, part of the International Climate Finance initiative, is intended to support climate goals but is drawing heavy criticism. The road, meant to connect to the remote village of Mabura, has been flagged by environmentalists for its potential ecological impact and its limited current reach.

The Telegraph's seven-month investigation reveals numerous climate aid projects facing allegations of corruption and waste, with some programs seemingly unrelated to environmental objectives. Examples include efforts to combat ocean plastic in landlocked nations, support for the Nigerian oil industry, and population control measures in the Congo, controversially linked to deforestation reduction.

Critics argue that such spending is an "insult" to British citizens facing cost-of-living challenges, questioning the priority of these overseas projects. The UK's commitment to spend £11.6 billion on climate finance by 2026 is under scrutiny, with concerns about the rush to disburse funds for perceived green credentials rather than impactful outcomes. The government maintains its dedication to maximizing aid effectiveness and delivering results abroad. If you like our content, don't forget to like and subscribe to our channel, NEWS TODAY.
