To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what her Department's total spending was on climate change adaptation in (a) 2010-11, (b) 2011-12, (c) 2012-13, (d) 2013-14 and (e) 2014-15; and what that spending is expected to be in each of the next five years.

DFID support to help people adapt to the impacts of climate is delivered in an integrated way through a range of programmes. Since the International Climate Fund was established in 2011/12 approximate funding is as follows:

2011/12 - £136m

2012/13 – £212m

2013/14 – £228m

Data for 2014/15 and 2015/16 will be published once available.

Future funding levels for spend on climate change will be determined as part of the current Spending Review process.
