Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has had recent discussions with the UN Environment Programme on which UK cities have expressed an interest in the Cool Coalition’s Nature for Cool Cities Challenge.
The former Secretary of State had not held any recent discussions with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) on the Cool Coalition’s Nature for Cool Cities Challenge. However, the UK is actively involved in many of the UN Environment Programme's workstreams and has a strong relationship with the organisation. I look forward to building on this relationship and continuing to support the vital work of UNEP in the coming months.
