Green Climate Fund

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to address the UK’s $288 million (USD) reported shortfall in meeting funding requests from the Green Climate 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.
