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. 。
