UK climate policy on the world stage

Across two oral evidence hearings this week - on Tuesday afternoon and concluding with climate minister Katie White on Wednesday morning - the Committee holds a quick inquiry on the UK’s position as a leader in international climate policy.   

Across the two sessions the Committee will consider:  

  • How UK delivery of domestic climate commitments underpins its standing on climate, energy, and environmental issues globally  
  • Signs of fragmentation of political consensus and stalling progress on climate goals, and the impact on the UK’s historical positive record on climate governance 
  • Insights from businesses, NGOs and city coalitions on the growing role of these ‘non-state actors’ in climate change policy processes and delivery  
  • And with growing critiques of the progress at recent ‘Conference of the Parties’ (COP) summits, how can the UK best engage with reform of international climate policy architecture?
