Question

To ask the President of COP26, what assessment he has made of the role of nature in delivering agreements made at COP26.

Nature-based solutions have the potential to deliver up to a third of the cost-effective mitigation required by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement’s 2-degree goal. They are also central to adaptation.

At COP26, we brought nature into the heart of the summit for the first time. 143 countries, representing 91% of the world’s forests, pledged to collectively halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030.

We are now focused on implementation, and are working with partners throughout our Presidency to turn commitments into action.
