The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking with his international counterparts to help reduce global emissions.

Answered by Katie White

We have restored UK international leadership through ambitious domestic action and global engagement: committing to reduce emissions by at least 81% by 2035 and deliver clean power by 2030, launching the Global Clean Power Alliance at the G20, working at COP30 with partners to cut methane, phase out coal, scale clean energy investment and protect forests among other areas.

We will continue this work at COP31.
