| The participation of civil society in the UN climate change negotiations is provided for by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and well established. Engagement with civil society is a priority for the UK, which is why the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, my right hon. Friend the Member for Kingston and Surbiton (Mr Davey), who led the UK's delegation and our officials, met regularly with civil society during the Lima negotiations. |
