answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2023 answer text <p>The recently published ICF Results (assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/651fb0a97309a1000db0a99e/UK_International-Climate-Finance_Results_2023_rev.pdf) report shows that more than a 100 million people in developing countries have been directly supported to adapt to the effects of climate change through UK International Climate Finance.

At COP27 the UK committed to triple its adaptation climate finance from £500 million in 2019 to £1.5 billion in 2025. The UK also committed to helping climate vulnerable countries to better access finance through a new approach being pioneered by the UK co-led Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/10/2023 14:49:49 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
