As the PM has said, Climate is the top priority for the UK. I am looking forward to COP next week which will be the key moment to promote international cooperation on tackling climate change.

The Foreign Secretary has reinforced that all countries must raise ambition during her engagements since her appointment. This includes speaking to over 40 of her counterparts, attending the UK General Assembly, and visiting the US, Mexico, India, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. I have also raised with my counterparts in Africa.

Climate change is an issue for everyone. Tackling it needs everyone to work together.
