	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2019 answer text <p>Domestically, the Government is on course to plant 11 million trees this Parliament (2017-2022), with at least 3.6 million trees (2,318 hectares) of woodland planted since April 2017, and over 15 million trees planted since 2010. In the Autumn Budget 2018, the Government announced an additional £60 million for tree planting initiatives, comprising £10 million to fund urban tree planting through the Urban Tree Challenge Fund, and £50 million for a Woodland Carbon Guarantee scheme. This will add to other new planting in the pipeline, including the High Speed 2 Woodland Fund, the Woodland Carbon Fund, a kick start investment in the Northern Forest and support for a new Northumberland Forestry Partnership, to delivera new forest region starting with 1 million trees planted by 2024.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister recently announced a doubling of UK International Climate Finance (ICF) to at least £11.6 billion over the next five years. This spend will include a focus on nature based solutions to climate change. Through ICF, the UK currently funds several programmes in developing countries that use native tree-planting as a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and generating economic benefits for rural communities. For example, Defra’s investments aim to restore 550,000 hectares of forest, generating 90 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions savings. This includes a £10 million project to restore up to 20,000 hectares of mangrove forest in Madagascar and Indonesia.</p> answering member constituency Richmond Park answering member printed Zac Goldsmith question first answered 17/10/2019 14:17:45 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2015 answer text <p>To increase awareness of the risks of new psychoactive substances (NPS), the Government has recently introduced the Psychoactive Substances Bill, which will bring in a blanket ban of NPS by prohibiting and disrupting production, distribution, sale and supply in the UK. The Bill will give police and other law enforcement agencies greater powers to tackle the trade in NPS, targeting suppliers who profit from their sale with complete disregard for the potential risks and consequences. The Home Office ran two advertising campaigns in 2013 and 2014 targeted at young people, with the objective to raise awareness of the dangers of NPS and signpost the FRANK website for further information and advice. In March 2015, we published a resource pack, written in partnership with front line practitioners, to enable those working with young people to have conversations with NPS users and challenge their drug use by raising awareness of the risks and consequences. Total spend on this NPS communications activity in 2013 to 2015 was £180,556. From 2010 to 2013, the Home Office ran a national campaign raising awareness of FRANK, the national drug information and advice service. The FRANK website contains information about the dangers of NPS. Every year since 2009, Ministers have written to approximately 50 festival organisers highlighting NPS dangers and calling on them to adopt a ‘no-legal highs’ policy for their festivals</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 02/06/2015 16:07:48 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
