answer text <p>The UK underlined our commitment to the Paris Agreement at the G7 Environment Ministers’ meeting earlier this month and at the EU Foreign Affairs and Environment Affairs Councils last week, where, along with European partners, we were clear that we deeply regret the US decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.</p><p>We welcome the continued support that the Paris Agreement has received from other political parties here in the UK, other countries, and subnational and non-state actors in the US and around the world. We will continue to work with the US to encourage them to show the leadership they have in the past on reducing carbon emissions.</p><p>We will continue to work through the G20, and other international fora, to promote the swift and effective implementation of the Paris Agreement. For example, the Government remains committed to the success of the Green Climate Fund as the key new vehicle for helping developing countries adapt to climate change and follow low carbon development paths. Besides the US, 42 Governments have pledged funding to the GCF, including Germany, France, Sweden, Mexico and Colombia.</p>

answer text <p>As many large businesses' financial years start in January, the number of businesses publishing reports will increase in mid-2018. We have therefore planned targeted communications with businesses, their representative bodies and intermediaries such as accountants to raise awareness in spring and summer 2018. There will be further communications in late 2018 once all businesses in scope have begun publishing information, which may include working with specific sector publications to raise awareness where necessary.</p> more like this

As part of the negotiations, the Government will want to ensure that UK businesses have greatest possible barrier-free access to EU markets.
