Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of reducing overseas aid on the UK’s response to the security risks posed by climate change.

We are committed to addressing the threats from the climate and nature crisis to our national security and economic prosperity, but as we reduce our overall aid budget, we need to achieve more with less by targeting our support where it has the most impact. The UK has a long track record of delivering that impact through our International Climate Finance, and we are on track to deliver £11.6 billion in International Climate Finance by the end of the financial year 2025/26.
