Nature-based solutions have the potential to deliver up to a third of the cost-effective mitigation required by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement\u2019s 2-degree goal. They are also central to adaptation.<\/p>
At COP26, we brought nature into the heart of the summit for the first time. 143 countries, representing 91% of the world\u2019s forests, pledged to collectively halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030.<\/p>
We are now focused on implementation, and are working with partners throughout our Presidency to turn commitments into action.<\/p>"}

Last month my Right Honourable Friend, the Secretary of State for International Trade set out the UK\u2019s priorities for green trade and how free and fair trade can play a critical role in driving the global green transition.<\/p>
Our free trade agreements are one lever to removing barriers to green trade, strengthening bilateral cooperation on climate change and the environment and supporting the delivery of the environmental commitments secured through the UK\u2019s COP26 Presidency.<\/p>
For example, both the Australia and New Zealand Free Trade Agreements have included affirmations of each party\u2019s commitments to address climate change, including the Paris Agreement, and recognise the importance of achieving our respective goals.<\/p>"}

The Government has committed to deliver 40 new hospitals by 2030, backed by an initial £3.7 billion. Together with eight existing schemes, this will mean 48 hospitals by the end of the decade, the biggest hospital building programme in a generation.<\/p>
In addition to this, multi-year funding to 2024/25 of £1.7 billion has been secured for over 70 hospital upgrades, including health centres, to improve health infrastructure across the country over the long term.
