<p>The UK continues to push for greater international cooperation on climate change.</p><p>Last
month at the Katowice COP 24 conference we reached an agreement on the rulebook for
Paris Agreement implementation, a crucial step towards international accountability.
However, all our assessments conclude that the current level of global ambition is
still not enough to meet the Paris goals of just over three years ago. We need unprecedented
and rapid action to reduce emissions and build resilience.</p><p>Minister of State
for the Commonwealth and United Nations, Lord Ahmad, spoke just last week at the UN
Security Council on the need to do more, and the UK is leading on Climate Resilience
at the UN Secretary General's Climate Summit in September.</p><p>The UK takes the
lead internationally on coal phase-out, renewable energy and zero emission vehicles,
amongst others, but we are clear that in order to meet the Paris Agreement goals,
all countries need to do more.</p>
