Climate Change

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Government is requesting that international governments submit their Nationally Determined Contributions ahead of COP26 in November.

Answer

At the UN Climate Action Summit in September the Prime Minister called on all countries to increase their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). As part of our incoming COP Presidency, we are encouraging all countries to submit increased NDCs ahead of COP26 which represent their highest possible ambition. The UK will play its part and come forward with an enhanced NDC well ahead of COP26.
