Adaptation Fund and Green Climate Fund

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when his Department plans to deliver the UK’s (a) $288 million outstanding contribution to the Green Climate Fund and (b) $20.6 million pledge to the Adaptation Fund.

Answer

The UK remains committed to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and, as one of the largest donors, has provided almost £1.5 billion to date. We have given the green light to make our £264 million payment this financial year, well in advance of the next GCF Board meeting in March. We have paid £185 million of this already.

The UK COP26 Presidency supported a record replenishment for the Adaptation Fund of $356 million - nearly triple the previous highest collective mobilisation. This included a £15 million pledge from the UK, which has now been paid.
