question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the report by the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development entitled Sowing the Seeds of Poverty: How the World Bank Harms Poor Farmers, published on 26 April 2023.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2023 answer text <p>We are aware of the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development report. The World Bank does not have a policy in place that restricts farmers in choosing their seeds. The Bank advocates the use of quality seeds and has helped protect farmers, local production, and food security in developing countries. An efficient national agricultural innovation system and an effective seed certification system is essential to meet the challenges agriculture faces in developing countries. The UK is supporting this longer-term goal to do both, boost food security, incomes, and climate adaptation and resilience. The World Bank has committed to full alignment of all its sovereign lending with the Paris Agreement by 1 July 2023. We are holding the Bank to account through the Board.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 30/06/2023 09:27:10 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>At COP27, the UK and all parties agreed to establish new funding arrangements for responding to loss and damage including a dedicated fund. A Transitional Committee (TC) was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to develop recommendations on these new arrangements. The UK is actively engaged with this process as a TC member and the first meeting was held in March where a future workplan was agreed. The UK will work to ensure that the fund and wider funding arrangements effectively deliver support to the most vulnerable people suffering losses and damages caused by climate change.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 24/04/2023 11:22:31 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan
