<p>The UK played an important role in securing the global climate Agreement reached
in Paris in December 2015. The UK has started its domestic process to enable ratification
of the Paris Agreement and will complete this before the end of the year.</p><p>The
UK also played a key role in securing a major global climate deal to combat aviation
emissions, reached at the 39th Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization
on 6 October 2016.</p><p>We will provide at least £5.8bn from the UK aid budget between
2016 and 2020 as climate finance which will continue to support developing countries
to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This should help promote green investment
required to meet the well below 2 degree goal set in Paris.</p><p>Domestically we
are delivering against the Paris climate deal through our UK Climate Change Act which
commits us to reduce emissions by at least 80% by 2050. One of the first acts of this
Government was to pass the fifth carbon budget into law – it is equivalent to a 57%
reduction on 1990 levels by 2030.</p>
