Across two oral evidence hearings this week - on
Tuesday afternoon and concluding with climate minister
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?
