It builds on the series of ambitious plans we have announced since committing to net zero emissions in law, including through my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan and our new UN climate target to reduce emissions in 2030 by at least 68% compared to 1990 levels – the highest reduction target made by a major economy to date. We have committed to include international aviation and shipping emissions in the Sixth Carbon Budget and will bring forward legislative proposals in due course.</p> more like this

If anyone has such evidence, they should share it without delay with the Italian authorities, who are committed to strictly enforcing sanctions. We continue to work closely with Italy, including through the G7, as we coordinate international sanctions in response to Putin's illegal invasion. We understand that the Italian Government has already frozen over 900 million euros worth of Russian assets subject to sanctions.</p> more like this
