answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2024 answer text <p>The UK is committed to establishing an efficient and effective Fund for Loss and Damage which delivers demonstrable outcomes for those particularly vulnerable to climate change. The UK's pledge of up to £40 million for the new Fund will help achieve this. Given the scale of finance required to respond to climate impacts, it is essential that the Fund encourages and deploys a wide variety of sources of funding, including from public, private and innovative sources. As a Board member, the UK will work with others to broaden the scale, scope and sources of financing for loss and damage.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 16/04/2024 13:12:30 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2024 answer text <p>The FCDO ministerial team have and will continue to engage with counterparts in countries on the front line of climate change. The deal agreed at COP28 is a key moment in global efforts to get to net zero by 2050 and is the first time there has been a global agreement to transition away from fossil fuels. But the frequency, severity and costs of the impacts from climate change and nature loss are increasing, and it is the poorest and most vulnerable that suffer the most and disproportionately. That is why the UK announced £100 million at COP28 to support some of the most climate-vulnerable countries, which contributes towards the £1.6 billion announced by the Prime Minister at COP28.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/01/2024 14:33:29 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
