Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much the UK supplied in international climate finance in (a) 2019, (b) 2020 and (c) 2021; and how much will be supplied in 2022.
The UK publishes details of our International Climate Finance (ICF) through the European Environment Agency (https://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/gb/eu/mmr/art16_finance/envx3sopa/Final_2020_UK_MMR_climate_finance_report.xlsx/manage_document). The latest published figures report a total spend of £1,183.61 million in 2019. Figures for 2020 and 2021 have not yet been published. The UK met its public commitment to spend £5.8 billion ICF between 2015/16 and 2020/21 and we remain committed to doubling this to £11.6 billion between 2021/22 and 2025/26.
