The federal government has announced that it will be giving a technical assistance grant valued at $20 million to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in order to support “climate adaptation, mitigation and resilience projects.”
Global Affairs Canada (GAC) said in a press release issued on June 26 that International Development Minister Harjit Sajjan made the funding announcement in London, U.K., while attending the Ukraine Recovery Conference—which is described as being focused on “mobilising international support for Ukraine’s economic and social stabilisation and recovery from the effects of war.”
