It also removes the Treaty’s protection for new fossil fuel investments in the UK. The Government welcomes the flexible approach in the modernised Treaty, which allows individual Parties to phase out investment protections for fossil fuels in their own territories in line with respective decarbonisation plans. The Government does not plan to seek to amend the timeline for the fossil fuel carve out, which aligns with the UK’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 07/07/2022 12:11:18 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
