PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
India (5 February 2015)

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

Asked by:
Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)

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. My Rt Honourable friends the Members for Kingston and Surbiton, Sheffield Hallam and Richmond all raised climate change with their counterparts during visits to India last summer. We are exploring with DECC options for future engagement.
