The UK is committed to playing a leading role in developing an ambitious post-2020 global biodiversity framework to be adopted at COP15.

Minister Lord Goldsmith will head the UK delegation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is the lead department for the Convention on Biological Diversity, working closely with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and Cabinet Office. A core team is in place in DEFRA, drawing on expertise across DEFRA, its specialist arms-length bodies, working with other Government departments, civil society organisations and society at large. This includes working with the FCDO and our Posts across the diplomatic network, through which we are engaging host governments to support the delivery of our objectives. Nature is one of the key priorities in the UK’s COP26 Presidency, and so the Cabinet Office COP26 Unit is also supporting preparations for COP15 to ensure successful delivery of our COP26 objectives.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 28/01/2022 14:58:22 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
