PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Bahrain (5 February 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Bahrainian counterpart on climate change.

Asked by:
Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

The Department of Energy and Climate Change leads the UK’s effort to tackle climate change. Securing a global and binding climate deal, in December this year, that keeps alive prospects for limiting global warming to within 2C is also a top foreign policy priority for the FCO. Together we raise climate change with a wide range of countries at ministerial level and through the Special Representative for Climate Change. Although there has been no engagement at ministerial level with Bahrain recently, we are exploring with DECC options for future engagement.
