Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what priorities he will set for COP28.

Ahead of COP28, the UK will continue to work with all countries using our levers including the G7 and G20, our bilateral partnerships, climate finance, trade and diplomacy, as well as our track record and legacy of COP26.

The Government will push for emissions peaking before 2025; actively follow up on the phase down of coal and phase out of all fossil fuels; and pursue outcomes from the Global Stocktake that enable us to shift gears on delivering the Paris Agreement goals. The Government will provide support to developing countries and work with partners to shape the design of the funding arrangements for loss and damage.
