Development Aid: Climate Change and Nutrition
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department is taking steps to integrate nutrition initiatives with climate adaptation in its international development programs.
Answered by Catherine West
The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office reports annually in its Nutrition Accountability Report on the level of International Climate Finance (ICF) that is nutrition sensitive. Data is published two years in arrears and on most recent figures 3 per cent of UK ICF is nutrition sensitive. The UK continues to champion the integration of improved nutrition outcomes alongside policy objectives in other sectors including health, agriculture, humanitarian, and climate adaptation. The UK government is looking forward to the upcoming 2025 Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris and is working closely with the French government to call for the integration of nutrition into climate programming at the summit.
