A UK-backed climate finance programme has delivered its first loans in a Honduran region, with 11 farming families receiving financing, according to a 2 September 2026 report from the British Embassy in Guatemala City, which covers Honduras. British Ambassador to Honduras Juliana Correa met farming families during a visit to Choluteca and heard how investment, technical assistance and innovation are intended to support more productive and resilient livestock systems.

The financing is intended for low-carbon technologies, improved farm management and climate adaptation measures. The project is supported through the Mitigation Action Facility, an international climate finance programme backed by the UK and other partners, and aims to improve livestock producers' access to finance and technical support. Correa also visited Finca La Bendición, where she saw sustainable approaches that producers were implementing.

According to the embassy report, the project is implemented by CATIE alongside Honduras' Secretariat of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), the Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (SERNA), financial institutions and local organisations. The embassy quoted Correa as saying the UK supports initiatives combining green finance, technical assistance and innovation to help producers strengthen their livelihoods.
