Climate Change: Finance

Asked by Priti PatelConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 5 December 2024UIN 16728

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of commitments made by the UK at COP 29 for the new collective quantified goal on climate finance.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

The new collective quantified goal on climate finance agreed at COP 29 is a collective goal, including finance from a broad range of sources, public and private. It does not set individual country commitments.

The UK will play its part alongside others; our contribution to the goal will be carefully considered and determined through the spending review process.
