Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, which British Overseas Territories have fulfilled their commitment under the Joint Ministerial Council Communique 2020 to publish territory-led plans for climate adaptation and mitigation.

At the UK-Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council in November 2020, each Overseas Territory government committed to endeavour to communicate a territory-led plan for climate change adaptation and mitigation, which contributes towards global carbon emission reductions, by the time of the COP26 Summit in November 2021. Saint Helena, the Falkland Islands, Montserrat and Gibraltar produced their plans and all Overseas Territories remain committed to continuing to communicate their plans and strategies following COP26, including the recently published 'Building a Sustainable Virgin Islands' plan by the British Virgin Islands. The UK Government continue to work closely with the Overseas Territories to address climate change challenges.
