Question

To ask the hon. Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, how many people were sent by the Church of England to the UN Climate Change (a) COP29 and (b) COP30 delegation.

Answered by Marsha De Cordova

The Church Commissioners were represented at COP29 by Olga Hancock, Managing Director and Head of Responsible Investment. In her role as Co-Lead of the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance Policy Workstream, she engaged, alongside other investors, with senior negotiators on a range of finance-related issues, including Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) and Article 6 carbon market arrangements, to encourage a high level of ambition from COP participants.

The Church Commissioners also contributed to a climate finance roundtable hosted by the UN High-Level Climate Champions and met with ministers and heads of delegation from OECD member countries.

In advance of COP29, Church Commissioners staff convened an online meeting in October 2024 involving investors and officials from the US State Department's COP29 Finance Team. They also held discussions with representatives of His Majesty's Government and the Government of Canada.

The Anglican Communion were represented at COP29 by Archbishop Julio Murray Thompson, Bishop of Panama, former Primate of the Iglesia Anglicana de la Region Central de America and Martha Jarvis, the Anglican Communion's Permanent Representative to the United Nations; their primary work focused on climate finance, supporting indigenous communities, and, as part of the Faith Pavilion, supporting efforts to tackle global debt.

At COP30, the Anglican Communion delegation was led by Archbishop Marinez of the Amazon, who hosted faith groups in Belém, Brazil. Shortly before COP30, Archbishop Marinez visited London to meet Members of both Houses of Parliament. The visit was organised by the Lord Bishop of Norwich. During the visit, the Church Commissioners and the Bishop of Norwich jointly hosted a meeting with Archbishop Marinez to discuss priorities for COP30, engage with local churches, and encourage prayer and support for the conference.
