Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps the Government is taking to help support international collaboration in green growth sectors.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) plays a critical role in delivering the UK’s ambitious domestic and international climate goals. DIT is using its international trade and investment levers to increase green investment, low-carbon supply chains, and clean exports. Our ambitious Free Trade Agreements and bilateral relations are reducing barriers to green trade.

To support the UK’s COP26 presidency, DIT’s global network is working with international businesses, investors, and government partners. This builds on the recent Global Investment Summit where the UK hosted the world’s leading businesses and investors to encourage collaboration and increase investment across green industries.
