The UN Climate Action Summit will be a critical moment for accelerating global climate ambition \u2013 cutting emissions, building resilience and mobilising finance \u2013 and the Government is fully committed to ensuring its success.<\/p>
The UK is leading on resilience and adaptation with Egypt, and our ambition for the Summit is to send a clear political signal that we urgently need to act on climate risk. We aim to drive systemic change in the way the world plans and invests to secure food and water and reduce the impact of disaster. The international community needs to step up efforts to support vulnerable people and the planet to better prepare for and withstand climate shocks and stresses.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4107", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Worcestershire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Harriett Baldwin"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-02T15:47:10.377Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Climate Change Convention"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what the Government's priorities are for the UN Secretary-General\u2019s 2019 Climate Change summit.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Nigel Evans"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ribble Valley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Nigel Evans"} ], "uin" : "247589"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123217", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123217/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
