The UK has published full details on our International Climate Finance (ICF) annually since 2014. The reports can be found here.

Over the past five years only 0.12% (£5.9 million) of UK ICF has been delivered through concessional loans, with 87% (£4,854 million) delivered through grants and 10% (£556 million) as equity investments.

Decisions on future programming will be made in due course.
