The Obama administration wrote a second check for $500 million on Tuesday to the Green Climate Fund, an international organization designed to help the developing world adapt to global warming and deploy more clean energy technologies. 。
The announcement from the State Department comes less than three days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. During the campaign, Trump vowed to choke off all U.S. funding for international global warming programs. 。
The most recent check from the Obama administration now brings total U.S. contributions to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) so far to $1 billion.。

Thanks for signing up! 。
This funding commitment helped make the Paris Climate Agreement -- which went into effect in November of last year -- possible since the industrialized world is responsible for the majority of human-caused climate change-to-date. 。Via Giphy。

In 2014, the U.S. committed $3 billion toward the fund, but Congress refused to appropriate the money. 。
However, Congress didn't prevent funds from simply going toward the program, either. So, in a bureaucratic end run, the Obama administration directed money that had been appropriated through other legislation to be used for the Green Climate Fund. 。
