Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the climate change policies of the government of the United States and their implications for the global effort to address climate change.

The UK is fully committed to working with other countries to tackle climate change and achieve the Paris Agreement goals including limiting global average temperature increase to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. My rt. hon. Friend the Prime Minister has raised the issue of climate change with the President of the United States. She has been clear that she believes the Paris Agreement is the right global framework for tackling climate change.
