answer text <p>The UK is making strong progress towards its commitments under the Paris Agreement. Between 1990 and 2016, we reduced our emissions by over 40 per cent while growing the economy by more than two thirds. Our Clean Growth Strategy, published last year, set out our policies and proposals for decarbonising the UK economy through the 2020s while maximising the advantages from the global shift to clean growth for UK businesses.</p><p> </p><p>We are also committed to helping developing countries meet their Paris Agreement commitments - the UK is among the largest contributors of climate finance, committing to provide at least £5.8 billion from 2016 to 2020, to help developing countries mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, reduce deforestation and support cleaner economic growth.
