Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the public finance pledge made in 2021 of up to £300 million intended towards forest-related climate finance in the Amazon basin over a five-year period has been fulfilled in full.

The UK  has  met and exceeded the International Climate Finance 3 (ICF 3) nature (£3 billion) sub-target. We will confirm final figures for ICF 3 and sub-targets once our accounts are finalised and audited in line with usual practice for official Government spending data. Individual programme-level spend data will be available on DevTracker in due course.

The UK remains committed to protecting, restoring and sustainably managing tropical forests, and recognises the crucial role they place in mitigating against climate change, preserving biodiversity and supporting livelihoods. Across the Amazon, Congo and Indonesia forest basins, UK ICF programme support is helping countries strengthen forest governance, protecting Indigenous and community land rights, improving forest monitoring, tackling illegal activities driving deforestation, and developing more sustainable land-use and livelihood opportunities.
