The Government is switching £400 million of grant funding set aside for future international climate finance projects into loans, which could include projects such as the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. This provides more flexible ways to meet our international climate objectives. The terms, repayment schedules and interest rates of any loans will depend on the final design of individual investments and will be considered in line with normal value for money and Official Development Assistance requirements.
