My Rt Hon friend the Secretary of State has regular discussions with Ministerial Colleagues on a number of issues, including driving forward the UK’s priorities for COP30.

The joint work of countries committed to development, tackling climate change and multilateralism has never been more important.

We are also working closely across Government to drive further international action, including with

  • Defra on issues such as strong domestic action and international leadership on the Global Methane Pledge.
