To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what her Department’s contribution has been to the Green Climate Fund in each of the last four years.

2013/14: £1.88 million

Projects funded by the Green Climate Fund will help increase the resilience of people, communities and regions most vulnerable to the impact of climate change and help reduce future carbon emissions, for example by supporting cleaner energy.
