Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether it is the Government's policy to commit £29m in support of the 30x30 initiative made at the CBD COP15 in 2022.

The Government is on track to invest up to £29 million to support partner countries' efforts to deliver the global 30x30 target. Since COP15, Defra has invested £20 million in the Legacy Landscapes Fund and supported countries to achieve 30x30 through new Darwin Initiative and other international nature projects.
