Energy Security and Net Zero Committee: International climate policy
Committee hears from witnesses
The Energy Security and Net Zero Committee will hear oral evidence on international climate policy. This session examines how UK climate commitments interact with global negotiations, other countries' net-zero strategies, and the diplomatic framework governing emissions reduction. The committee is gathering expert testimony to inform scrutiny of the government's approach to international climate agreements and their domestic implementation.
International climate policy directly shapes the UK's ability to meet its legally binding net-zero target by 2050 and interim carbon budgets. How other nations act on emissions affects the competitiveness of British industry, the credibility of UK climate diplomacy, and the feasibility of decarbonising sectors like steel, aviation, and chemicals that depend on global supply chains. Select committee scrutiny of this area holds ministers to account for negotiating positions that affect both climate outcomes and economic interests.
