Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the total cost to the public purse was of UK Government attendance at COP28.

The information requested would be disproportionately costly to collate given the number of Government Departments involved – each Department will hold its own information. Final DESNZ costs are not yet available, with invoices and claims still being processed. The cost of hosting a UK Pavilion at COP28 was covered by sponsorship income of £1.2 million.
