Peru

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Peruvian counterpart on climate change.

Answer: The Department of Energy and Climate Change leads the UK’s effort to tackle climate change. Securing a global and binding climate deal, in December this year, that keeps alive prospects for limiting global warming to within 2C is also a top foreign policy priority for the FCO. Together we raise climate change with a wide range of international partners at ministerial level and through the Special Representative for Climate Change. Sir David King, the Foreign Secretary's Special Representative for Climate Change met with Peruvian Ministers several times in 2014 before and during the UN negotiations in Lima in December.
