Energy Security and Net Zero Committee: International climate policy

Committee hears from witnesses

The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee will take oral evidence on international climate policy. This scrutiny session examines how the UK engages with global climate negotiations, agreements, and commitments—exploring areas like the Paris Agreement, international carbon markets, and climate finance. The focus is understanding the UK's diplomatic strategy and obligations as it transitions to net zero while maintaining energy security.

How Britain positions itself in global climate diplomacy shapes its economic competitiveness, trade relationships, and ability to influence emissions-reduction standards internationally. The session directly affects UK energy policy, industrial decarbonisation targets, and the country's credibility in climate leadership—material for businesses, investors, and nations negotiating climate commitments.
