    Solution

    The phrase "Less of 10 per cent of" is incorrect. The correct form should be "Less than 10 per cent of." When comparing quantities, "less than" is used, not "less of." The corrected sentence would be: "Less than 10 per cent of global climate finance and only 1.2 per cent of humanitarian funding reaches local actors in cities."
