Climate Change
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he plans to take to tackle rising temperatures.
Answered by Katie White
Tackling climate change is at the heart of this Government’s clean energy superpower mission.
On 29 October we published the Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery Plan which sets out in detail how the UK will continue to reduce emissions in a way that lowers bills and secures good jobs, in line with the Climate Change Act 2008.
With the UK contributing 1% of global emissions, collaboration with other countries is critical. That is why my Rt hon Friend the Prime Minister led the UK’s COP30 delegation and the UK pushed for the transition away from fossil fuels and deforestation that is needed to keep our goal of limiting global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees in reach.
