Written Question

Nature Conservation: International Cooperation

Monday 16th February 2026

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Norwich (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support international nature restoration, following their report National security assessment on global ecosystems, published on 20 January.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The National security assessment on global ecosystems deepens our understanding of how biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation affect national and global stability. This analysis informs our engagement with international partners and supports collective action to address shared biodiversity challenges.

The UK is taking comprehensive action to strengthen resilience to environmental risks at home and overseas. This includes support for conflict prevention, climate adaptation, early warning systems and sustainable livelihoods, alongside targeted investments through International Climate Finance. The Government is investing £11.6 billion including £3 billion for nature, supporting tropical rainforests, marine habitats and indigenous communities. The Government is also backing innovative finance such as the eco.business Fund and the Land Degradation Neutrality Fund, which mobilise private sector investment to restore degraded land, enhance biodiversity and strengthen climate resilience globally.
