The UK played a major role in securing the Paris Agreement and we remain committed to it.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Paris Agreement is the framework by which countries set out their plans to meet their emissions reduction targets. It is then the individual country\u2019s domestic policy frameworks and market forces which determine how those targets will be achieved in practice.<\/p>
<\/p>
I am pleased to see renewed international, state and city level commitments to tackling climate change and statements in support of the Paris Agreement. The UK will continue to work with the US and other international partners to promote the transition to a low carbon economy.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3974", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Claire Perry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Devizes"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Claire Perry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-03T14:53:49.767Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-06-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Climate Change Convention: USA"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the effect of the US withdrawing from the Paris Climate Change Agreement on the global effort to combat climate change.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "1685"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/733102", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/733102/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
My Rt Hon. Friend the Prime Minister spoke to the US President following his decision to pull the US out of the Paris Agreement, expressing her disappointment with the decision and stressing that the UK remained committed to the Paris Agreement, as she set out at the G7 Leaders\u2019 Summit.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department is in frequent contact with the US Administration, including on issues related to climate change.<\/p>
<\/p>
We will continue to work with the US to encourage them to show the leadership they have in the past on reducing carbon emissions.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Paris Agreement is irreversible and its integrity is key for the security and prosperity of our planet, societies and economies.<\/p>
