International Climate Action

The following is an extract from questions on the statement on International Climate Action made on 26 September 2019.

[Andrea Leadsom]

The right hon. Gentleman will be aware that just this weekend the Prime Minister doubled our international climate finance contribution, from £5.8 billion to £11.2 billion, for 2021 to 2025. That demonstrates our commitment to providing support for those in developing countries.
