The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 20th March 2024:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government whether they have any plans to increase climate funding available to drought-affected and flood-prone communities in the Horn of Africa.
Lord Benyon (Con, FCDO): Building climate resilience is central to the UK’s work in the Horn of Africa where flooding and drought have impacted tens of millions of people.
UK funded organisations are working to address the immediate effects of climate change providing life-saving aid to millions. We are doing all we can to promote long-term climate resilience and as part of this to scale-up the provision of climate finances to the Horn of Africa. Last year’s White Paper set out a bold vision for the UK’s work on this agenda including a commitment to spend at least £1.5 billion globally in 2025 on climate adaptation.
