The Evolution of UK Climate Finance
What it examines
Examines how UK aid and other public finance, including BII investment, UKEF support and guarantees through multilateral banks, contribute to international climate finance. Moore and Mitchell construct an indicative baseline and future scenarios, identify delivery and reporting gaps, and recommend stronger coordination, transparent results and greater focus on vulnerable countries.
Why it matters
Direct analysis of how several UK public-capital channels work together. The paper’s estimates depend on attribution, timing and climate-scoring assumptions; its future UKEF series fills a target gap rather than forecasting lending from observed trends. These figures are not verified new commitments or payments.
