question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what investments they are funding which aim, as a stated goal, to limit climate migration.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL2239
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>The links between migration and climate change are complex; evidence shows that decisions to migrate are rarely mono-causal, but that climate extremes and environmental degradation often amplify other economic, social and political drivers of migration. Funding that supports adaptation and resilience to climate change therefore helps to reduce climate-related migration. Since 2011 we have directly supported over 88 million people in some of the world's most vulnerable countries to cope with the effects of climate change.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 28/09/2022 13:01:22 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
