Question

To ask the President of COP26, what assessment his Department has made of the potential implications for the UK's decarbonisation targets of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report entitled Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change.

The UK is committed to Net Zero by 2050 and has an ambitious 2030 emission reduction target, which the independent “Climate Change Committee” has noted is aligned with the Paris Temperature goals.

Our Net Zero Strategy, published last year, set out our plan to decarbonise our economy.
