The G7 Leaders’ Summit was a critical point as we work towards COP26. The G7 leaders committed to achieve net zero no later than 2050, with deep emissions reduction targets in the 2020s – consistent with keeping 1.5 degrees within reach. The G7 Leaders also acknowledged the harmful effects of some subsidies on the environment and the need to reform policies with recognised impacts on nature – and committed to work to accelerate an inclusive global transition to sustainable and climate resilient agriculture.</p><p>Together with the World Bank, we are co-hosting an international Policy Dialogue on the ‘Transition to Sustainable Agriculture through redirecting public policies and support and scaling innovation’. Through the Dialogue, we are developing a Policy Action Agenda on the transition to sustainable agriculture.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma grouped question UIN 29169 question first answered 21/07/2021 07:24:53 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2022 answer text <p>The UK Health and Safety Laboratory conducted a small pilot study of a number of technologies used as ‘air purifiers’ as a preliminary indication of the potential for these systems to improve air quality. However, this pilot preceded the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore did not focus on airborne virus control.</p><p> </p><p>While the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies undertook a review of existing evidence on the application of UV disinfection, visible light, local air filtration and fumigation technologies to microbial control, it did not make an assessment of technologies supplied by companies. In our earlier answer to Question 496, we stated that Public Health England undertook an assessment of such technologies. However, this information was incorrect and we have amended the record by Written Ministerial Statement on 1 March 2022 <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fquestions-statements.parliament.uk%2Fwritten-statements%2Fdetail%2F2022-03-01%2Fhcws648&amp;data=04%7C01%7CDavid.Gosling%40dhsc.gov.uk%7C74ba698a24c74d6eab1b08da170bbcb6%7C61278c3091a84c318c1fef4de8973a1c%7C1%7C0%7C637847636423860232%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=UbDXZQq48LESuf7K4DTkqM%2FURfdzBbX7bWN2KPcxy7w%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">HCWS648</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) accepts submissions from companies for technologies and associated credentials.
