BRUSSELS: Japan will put up to 165 billion yen ($1.11 billion) into the United Nation’s main fund for helping vulnerable countries cope with climate change, the country said on Thursday.

The UN’s Green Climate Fund is seeking contributions to fund projects in climate-vulnerable counties over 2024-2027, aiming to exceed the $10 billion it raised in its last three-year round.
