Asked by: Lord Harlech (Conservative - Life peer)
Thursday 23rd July 2026

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

To ask His Majesty's Government whether their plans for achieving net zero emissions include introducing targets to reduce livestock herd sizes.

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

Climate Change: Loans
Asked by: Lord Harlech (Conservative - Life peer)
Tuesday 4th August 2026

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the press release of 22 July, Cheaper travel for millions with a third off fares, what the repayment schedules for the United Kingdom’s loans to international climate finance projects will be; and which projects these will include.

Answered by Baroness Curran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Government is switching £400 million of grant funding set aside for future international climate finance projects into loans, which could include projects such as the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. This provides more flexible ways to meet our international climate objectives. The terms, repayment schedules and interest rates of any loans will depend on the final design of individual investments and will be considered in line with normal value for money and Official Development Assistance requirements.

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much of the total United Kingdom contribution to the International Climate Finance budget can be turned into loans.

Answered by Lord Wood of Anfield - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) uses a combination of grants and other instruments, including loans, as most appropriate to deliver the intended outcomes and provide the best value for money. No existing FCDO International Climate Finance programmes have been switched from grants to loans linked with the recent announcement of £2 bus fares.
