To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have provided any funding to the Tropical Forests Forever Fund.
The Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) represents a critical evolution in forests finance, which is why the Government has been pleased to steadfastly support its development, including by pledging £2.5m to support the establishment of the Fund.
