Tackling climate change and delivering net zero is a top priority for me and this whole Government, which is why we will be hosting COP26 next year and the Prime Minister announced he will chair a new Cabinet Committee on Climate Change.

As the first major economy in the world to set a legally binding net zero target, we are backing words with action – from record levels of renewable power, to £2 billion of investment into clean technologies, to doubling of our International Climate Finance contribution to £11.6 billion.
