Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask His Majesty's Government what response they plan to make to the call for unified global action by Climate Emergency Day, following the Climate Clock ticking below six years.
The UK is driving global climate ambition through its leadership in the UNFCCC process, multilateral forums such as the G7 and G20, and through international climate finance commitments and diplomatic networks. The Government is committed to spending £11.6 billion on international climate finance and is delivering on that pledge.
COP28 will involve the first ever Global Stocktake of progress against the Paris Agreement. It must galvanise a step change in action and ambition from all involved.
