# UK climate envoy Rachel Kyte says the world must prepare to tackle global warming without US funding as the Trump administration withdraws billions from climate initiatives. This week, South Africa confirmed the US pulled over 18-billion-rand from a coal-transition pact. In January, Washington canceled up to 72-billion-rand in Green Climate Fund pledges. Despite US setbacks, Kyte emphasised global commitment to the green transition.
