Alok Sharma to face COP26 questions from Lords committee

What was achieved at COP26 (the United Nations climate change conference held in Glasgow late last year)?

That is one of the likely questions when Alok Sharma, President for COP26, appears before the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee on Monday 10 January at 3.30 p.m. as the committee continues its inquiry into delivering COP26 across government.

Other possible questions include:

• What is the government doing to ensure effective cross-government delivery of COP26’s outcomes?
• What does the government expect from the revisions of 2030 emissions targets by some countries and what is it doing to support these?
• How will the government translate commitments made on nature at COP26 into progress at COP15 (United Nations biodiversity conference)?
• How will the government take adaptation forward at international and domestic levels?

On 1 November last year the committee wrote to Alok Sharma. The letter is here.
