DFID’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) spend, including on humanitarian aid, is published in our Statistics on International Development annual reports and can be found on the GOV.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development/about/statistics.

The figures are not disaggregated into spend specifically on extreme weather events given the interrelated factors driving humanitarian need in many contexts, including climatic conditions, instability, insecurity and vulnerability.
