<p>Tackling climate change is a priority for this Government and for the Department
of International Development. In ratifying the Paris Agreement, the UK agreed to work
towards making all financial flows consistent with lowering greenhouse gas emissions
and supporting climate-resilient development.</p><p>The UK has committed to provide
at least £5.8bn of our aid over the period 2016-2021 to tackle climate change. We
are supporting many programmes which contribute to this goal, including those for
example which deliver clean energy. Since 2011, these resources have helped reduce
or avoid 10.4 million tonnes of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere and
supported 17 million people to access clean energy.</p>
