Climate Change: Finance

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how much of the total United Kingdom contribution to the International Climate Finance budget can be turned into loans.

Answer

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) uses a combination of grants and other instruments, including loans, as most appropriate to deliver the intended outcomes and provide the best value for money. No existing FCDO International Climate Finance programmes have been switched from grants to loans linked with the recent announcement of £2 bus fares.
