<p>This year, the eyes of the world will be on the UK as we host the G7 and COP26.
Business action on climate is vitally important to achieving a successful summit and
presidency and meeting net zero emissions by 2050. Together these provide an excellent
opportunity to showcase businesses as global leaders in tackling climate change in
the year leading up to COP26.</p><p>The Government has appointed my Hon. Friend the
Member for Arundel and South Downs (Andrew Griffith) as the UK Net Zero Business Champion
for COP26. Andrew will drive the action needed to encourage UK businesses to sign
up to the Race to Zero. This sends the strongest signal to markets, supply chains,
governments and consumers that businesses are committed to the Net Zero transition.</p><p>We

Emissions Projections (<a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fcollections%2Fenergy-and-emissions-projections&data=04%7C01%7Ccarbonbudgets%40beis.gov.uk%7C0ec7696837e34476bdb008d8ccf7abd7%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C637484711391084520%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=cZZQnQgQOMGld%2Br92yvGkmm0R1oixI8pFny6fpuk6ks%3D&reserved=0"
