The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many officials in his Department work full-time on COP summits.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy

The annual UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) is a crucial opportunity to tackle climate change internationally. As a top Government priority, officials across HMG are involved in making these summits as successful as they can be, from negotiations, logistics and Ministerial support to policy and stakeholder engagement. They typically do this as part of a broader role.
