PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Brazil (5 February 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Brazilian 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 a top foreign policy priority for the Government. Together we raise climate change with a wide range of countries at ministerial level and through the Special Representative for Climate Change. I discussed climate change with my Brazilian counterpart on 6 January and it will also feature at our Strategic Dialogue on 26 February.
