Forests: Environment Protection
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help tackle deforestation.
Answered by Katie White
The UK strongly supports global efforts to protect forests, including advocating for the international commitment to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030, while supporting livelihoods and economic development. Through diplomacy, partnerships and development programming, we are working to improve forest governance, sustainable trade and investment, and to mobilise finance to protect and restore the world's major tropical forest basins.
