Proceeding contribution from Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Durban Climate Change Conference.


Durban Climate Change Conference

I, too, congratulate the Secretary of State on the progress that has been made, particularly given that I do not think anyone really believed that there would be progress. I also welcome the declaration relating to the Congo basin—the second largest tract of rain forest in the world—which was launched by the Minister of State, my hon. Friend the Member for Bexhill and Battle (Gregory Barker). The Secretary of State mentioned progress on reducing emissions from deforestation, and I was hoping that he could be a little more specific.
