Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many official meetings representatives of the UK have attended in the run-up to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change conference in late 2015; and who those representatives are.

There are a range of official meetings under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in the run-up to the Conference of Parties (COP21) in December 2015. The UK is represented at these by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) with support from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The delegation to the most recent meeting held in Geneva from 8 to 13 February was led by Peter Betts, Director International Climate Change at DECC.
