answer text <p>At COP27, the UK and other parties agreed to establish a Transitional Committee (TC) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to develop a loss and damage fund and funding arrangements by COP28. The UK is a full member of the TC and has engaged very actively to support progress through the three Committee meetings held to date. The UK is working with the TC, the UNFCCC and Parties, and with civil society, to ensure funding arrangements and the L&amp;D fund deliver effectively for countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, with strong recommendations taken from the final TC in October to COP28.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK condemns in the strongest possible terms attempts to undermine democracy, peace and stability in Niger and Gabon. We have not seen evidence of Wagner involvement in recent developments in Niger. More widely, it is clear that Russian engagement in the Sahel is causing instability and is not in the interests of the people of the region.</p><p>We stand firmly with the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in calling for the restoration of democracy in Niger.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Human rights defenders (HRDs) and civil society organisations, including those working to protect land or the environment, are supported through the bilateral engagement of our global network of Embassies and High Commissions and, importantly, through multilateral organisations. In 2019, the Government published guidance entitled 'UK support for Human Rights Defenders' which sets out what we could and would do to support HRDs. The FCDO also monitors repression of HRDs and civil society in its annual Human Rights and Democracy Report, most recently published in July 2023.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK Government notes the statement by African Faith Leaders. We are working to ensure swift progress and effective implementation of debt treatments and are working to deliver a long-term, sustainable approach to dealing with debt restructurings through the Common Framework. The UK is leading improvements to the global debt architecture and is supporting efforts to find coordinated solutions on debt including through the Global Sovereign Debt Roundtable. During the pandemic, the UK supported the G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative and contributed £150 million to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Catastrophe Containment and Relief Trust to provide debt relief.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK closely monitors and regularly reviews the security risks to British nationals overseas. These risks are reflected in FCDO travel advice, which remains under constant review to ensure it reflects our latest risk assessment. There are seven countries that border Niger. The travel advice we provide for each one is tailored, and sets out the differing security contexts and risks. Some of these countries have their own security challenges, and FCDO already advises against all travel to Libya and parts of Nigeria, Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mali and Chad where these countries meet Niger's borders.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are delighted to be partnering closely with South Africa on the Just Energy Transition, as the lead of the International Partners Group (IPG), to support South Africa's accelerated and inclusive transition towards a net zero and climate resilient economy.</p><p>The UK and the IPG has frequent engagement with South African counterparts at the working and Ministerial level. Considerable finance has already been deployed in the form of grants and loans and the IPG continues to work closely with South African counterparts to ensure timely deployment of the remaining $8.5 billion offer. I discussed this matter on my recent visit to South Africa with Pravin Gordhan, Minister for Public Enterprise. This week, Minister Coffey will be meeting with the South African Minister for Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, Minister Creecey, at the UN General Assembly, and separately the British High Commissioner will be meeting with the South African Minister for Electricity, Minister Ramokgopa, to discuss how we can quicken the pace of implementation and address capacity challenges in the South African system ahead of COP28.</p>
