PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy - 30 September 2019 (Commons/Written Corrections)
Debate Detail
The following is an extract from questions on the statement on International Climate Action made on 26 September 2019.
Sir Edward Davey
Kingston and Surbiton
Does the Secretary of State agree that the climate emergency demands that we reform the whole financial system, to decarbonise capitalism and green the City? If so, why are the Government taking three years to implement the mandatory disclosure of climate-related financial risks, when it could be brought in within one year?
Andrea Leadsom
The right hon. Gentleman will be aware that just this weekend the Prime Minister doubled our international climate finance contribution, from £5.8 billion to £11.2 billion, for 2021 to 2025. That demonstrates our commitment to providing support for those in developing countries.
