Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what financial commitments to support global climate mitigation and adaption the Government plans to make as part of the 2017 UN climate negotiations.

In September 2015, it was announced that the UK will provide at least £5.8bn of climate finance in the period 2016-17 to 2020-21. The UK is firmly committed, alongside other developed countries, to jointly mobilise $100bn of public and private finance a year by 2020, in the context of meaningful mitigation and transparency of action. Any further commitments at the 2017 UN climate negotiations, will be made in due course.
