Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what steps he is taking to help deliver the Government's commitment in the Glasgow Climate Pact to double adaptation finance by 2025.

The UK is delivering on its commitment to spend £11.6 billion on International Climate Finance (ICF). At COP27, the Prime Minister announced that we will triple funding for climate adaptation from £500 million in 2019 to £1.5 billion in 2025. We are working with developed countries and multilateral donors to raise ambition on adaptation finance in order to meet the collective goal to double adaptation finance by 2025.
