Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, with reference to the Written Statement of 17 October 2023 on International Climate Finance, HCWS1071, whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the reclassification of climate finance on the proportion of international climate finance provided by the UK in the form of (a) loans and (b) other non-grant instruments.

All UK International Climate Finance (ICF) continues to be Official Development Assistance. In line with the historical average of 85% set out in the Written Statement, the vast majority of UK ICF continues to be provided through grants.
