In 2013 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimated that, if we are more likely than not to limit global average temperature rise to 2°C, the remaining permissible carbon emissions are 305 billion tonnes of carbon for the period 2011 to 2100, taking into account both CO2<\/sub> and non-CO2 <\/sub>forcing factors. Carbon within existing proven reserves of conventional and unconventional coal, oil, and gas were estimated by the IPCC in 2011 to be 1,053 billion tonnes.<\/p>Burning a greater proportion of fossil fuel reserves could be consistent with the 2°C goal if there was significant future global uptake of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, to markedly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel plants at source. The Government\u2019s CCS programme aims to bring forward this technology at a commercial scale in the UK.<\/p>"}

The Annual Report of Government\u2019s 2013-14 performance against the Greening Government Commitments (GGCs) will be published later this year. The GGC framework applies to the estate and operations of central government departments and their arms\u2019 length bodies in England; local government entities are not in scope. It will report government\u2019s performance as a whole, and for each reporting department, against each of the GGC targets.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Energy consumption data reported by departments against the target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2015 is not weather-corrected and carbon savings are not attributed to specific building closures or changes of use or occupants. The annual report will however set out case studies and examples of good practice showing what measures departments have taken to achieve those savings. If changes of use or occupants occurs within the Government estate this will be reflected in the data. However, the data will not reflect the carbon impacts of the use of buildings transferring to use or occupancy outside the Government estate.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The report will not include the number and proportion of government buildings that meet the requirements for Display Energy Certificates because the number of certificates is not covered by the Greening Government Commitments reporting standards framework and Departments are therefore not required to report on this aspect.<\/p>

Drug trafficking in West Africa is a multi-million pound business, which damages the social fabric in both West Africa as a region of transit, and in destination countries such as Europe, the Middle East and North America. Tackling drug trafficking in West Africa will require international co-operation and long-term commitment, using a wide range of policy and law enforcement tools.
We have noted with interest the conclusions and recommendations of the report by the Kofi Annan Foundation\u2019s West Africa Commission on Drugs, and the report has informed our thinking as we take forward our own activity on this issue. Priority areas for action in the region include bearing down on corruption, strengthening good governance, building regional ability to share information and conduct investigations, improving joint action on borders and cross-border traffic, and building criminal justice capacity. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office will continue to work with the National Crime Agency and the Crown Prosecution Service to strengthen regional capacity in all these areas.
The UK is also working with G7 and other international partners to better coordinate serious and organised crime-related assistance in West Africa. A new G7+ Assistance Strategy Committee will meet for the first time in November to set collective assistance priorities for the next five years.<\/p>"}

UK officials are in close and regular contact with their French counterparts on Mali, both bilaterally and in multilateral fora such as the UN and the EU. The UK Special Representative for the Sahel has recently visited Mali and will be meeting a number of EU colleagues in the coming days. We remain committed to working with our partners, including France, to bear down on terrorism and organised crime in Mali and the Sahel. Ultimately, stability in Mali will only be possible if there is a political agreement between the Malian government and the various communities in the country. That is why we support the negotiations taking place in Algiers.
In the meantime we will work to strengthen the capacity of the UN Mission (MINUSMA) to carry out its important tasks in Mali. We will continue our participation in the EU Training Mission in Mali, and in the new civilian EU Mission whose objective is to strengthen the civilian security forces\u2019 ability to tackle organised crime, including drug and people trafficking. We will also continue to lead the international effort to eradicate the payment of ransoms to kidnappers, which is an important source of funding for terrorist groups.<\/p>"}
