UK climate leadership at a crossroad
What it examines
Examines the delivery of the UK’s international climate-finance strategy and calls for a cross-government delivery plan, a dedicated adaptation target and annual progress reporting. The committee questions how far private investment can meet adaptation needs in vulnerable countries.
Why it matters
Directly examines UK climate-finance instruments, including BII, PIDG and UKEF. It distinguishes the role of private investment in mitigation from the continuing need for grants and concessional finance for adaptation. Its recommendations are parliamentary scrutiny, not adopted government policy.
Published on 6 November 2026. Recommendations are the committee’s proposals and are not treated as enacted policy.
