Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reasons sustainable development goal (SDG) 13 has not been included in the list of SDGs that the Prosperity Fund focuses on.
The primary purpose of the Prosperity Fund is to support inclusive economic development. Programmes contribute to a number of the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 13, for example through the development of low carbon development technologies and improving energy efficiency. This is set out in more detail in the Prosperity Fund’s forthcoming Annual Report for 2017/18.
