Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made on their commitments to support the protection of tropical forests and oceans.

I refer the Noble Lord to the answers given to HL1340, HL1341 and HL1342 on 7 July 2026.

The UK remains committed to halting and reversing forest loss and land degradation by 2030. Through programmes and partnerships across the Amazon, Congo and Indonesia forest basins, we support stronger governance, Indigenous Peoples' and local community rights, sustainable trade and finance mobilisation for forest protection.

On oceans, the UK continues to support global marine conservation through initiatives including the Blue Planet Fund, action to advance the 30by30 target, and ratification of the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Agreement on 10 July 2026.
