As of January 2017, a full-time equivalent of 112 staff based overseas work on climate change and energy. 52 members of staff devote 100% of their time to these issues. These figures are based on activity recording data for all staff. Foreign and Commonwealth Office allocation of resource is kept under regular review as priorities and staff change, so there is often evolution in precise numbers and locations.
