Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when the Blue Planet Fund will be launched; and whether civil society will be consulted to inform the fund's design, prior to its launch.
The Blue Planet Fund will be launched later this year and will be jointly delivered by Defra and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. We will engage with a range of stakeholders in advance of this in order to inform the fund’s design, and plan to include civil society organisations as part of this.
