Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much underspend there has been in (a) climate finance and (b) other Official Development Assistance in financial year 2022; and if she will publish a detailed breakdown of that underspend.

In financial year 2021/22 the FCDO met its ambition to deliver more than £941 million of activities that count towards the UK's flagship £11.6 billion International Climate target as set out in the Written Ministerial Statement laid on 21 April 2021 (https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/uk-official-development-assistance-oda-allocations-2021-to-2022-written-ministerial-statement). The UK Government remains committed to the remainder of this pledge.

Final UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) figures for 2021 will be published in Autumn 2022 in 'Statistics on International Development: Final UK Aid Spend 2021'.
