<p>At the UN Climate Action Summit in September, my rt. hon. Friend the Prime Minister
called on all countries to raise the ambition of their Nationally Determined Contributions
(NDCs). The UK will play its part and come forward with an increased NDC this year,
in good time ahead of COP26. The UK’s NDC will be communicated to the UNFCCC and published
on the UNFCCC NDC registry, in line with our commitments under the Paris Agreement.
The Government will keep Parliament informed.</p><p> </p><p>The Government consults
on its policies and proposals to reduce emissions through the process of setting carbon
budgets and in preparing published plans for meeting them, most recently the Clean
Growth Strategy. As the policies and proposals in the Clean Growth Strategy are developed
and implemented over time, they too will be subject to public consultation and parliamentary
scrutiny as part of the normal regulatory process.</p><p> </p><p>We will use the opportunity
of hosting the COP26 negotiations to shine a spotlight on ambitious action by governments,
businesses and people around the world, and to continue to drive greater global climate
ambition. This follows the UK becoming the first major economy to set a date for ending
our contribution to global warming, enshrining in legislation in June 2019 a commitment
to meet net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.</p>
