Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to ensure that the UK delivers on its obligations for annual climate funding for people in lower-income countries.

The UK Government provided £9.8 billion International Climate Finance (ICF) between April 2011 and March 2021. We are committed to providing a further £11.6 billion between 2021/22 and 2025/26 (a doubling of our ICF spend in the previous five years), with an extra £1 billion in 2025 if the economy grows as forecast. We publish on an annual basis the results that our ICF achieves 2021 UK Climate Finance Results - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and details of our ICF spending are reported to, and published by, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat biennially (Fourth Biennial Reports - Annex I | UNFCCC).
