Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

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

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 with the FCO. Together we raise climate change with a wide range of countries at Ministerial level and through the Special Representative for Climate Change. It was recently raised bilaterally at FCO ministerial level and will be a priority for the forthcoming state visit to the UK.
