<p>We work collaboratively with other countries to tackle climate change in a variety
ways including via multi-lateral fora and global alliances.</p><p>We work on climate
via the G7 and G20; we promote ambitious action alongside other countries via the
High Ambition Coalition and we drive collective action on the ground through, for
example, our hosting of the world’s first zero emission vehicle summit; and creation
of Powering Past Coal Alliance, to reduce emissions from the most polluting fuel,
which now has over 70 members. We play a key role within the UN Climate Framework,
helping secure the agreement of 195 countries to sign up to the historic Paris Climate
Agreement in 2015 and then bringing it to life last year at COP24 via the creation
of a common rulebook. We are also working with our UN partners to ensure the Secretary
General’s Climate Summit in September 2019 brings together key international actors,
across the public and private sectors, to drive transformative action on building
resilience to climate change.</p><p>UK leadership is reflected in the actions of other
countries. For example, we were the first country to introduce long-term legally binding
emission reduction target, which has now been emulated across the world, including
by France, Denmark, Sweden and Mexico</p>
