What is UK PACT?
UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) is a flagship programme under the UK’s International Climate Finance (ICF) portfolio. The programme is jointly governed and funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). UK PACT funds projects which support partner countries to implement and increase their ambitions for carbon emissions reductions in line with their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). All UK PACT projects work to accelerate partner countries’ transition to low carbon development. The consortium is led by Palladium, with Arup and SDDirect as partners.
Our role on the project
SDDirect works to mainstream GEDSI throughout UK PACT. Our work includes building the capacity of the consortium and implementing partners, organising regular GEDSI Leadership and Learning Hubs, developing guidance and capturing emerging good practice on promoting GEDSI in climate change mitigation. Our team of GEDSI and Climate Experts support country and regional funds to mainstream GEDSI through their calls for proposals and support implementing partners by providing feedback, delivering training, and working with them to develop GEDSI action plans.
