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>"}

High inflation to date has been pushed up by global factors, including Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, which has led to significant price increases in goods and energy. In addition, the recent tightening in the labour market and rising cost pressures means that domestic factors are also playing a role and that inflationary pressures are becoming more broad-based. The independent Office for Budget Responsibility is the government\u2019s official forecaster and will produce its next forecast in the autumn.<\/p>
<\/p>
The government understands the pressures people are facing with the cost of living because of high inflation. The government is providing over £15bn of additional support, building on the over £22bn announced previously, with government support for the cost of living now totalling over £37bn this year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-06-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-06-20T13:28:56.387Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-06-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Inflation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment has he made of the potential impact of the war in Ukraine on inflation in the next three years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "18903"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1470554", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1470554/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Mental health outcomes are considered in the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition\u2019s risk assessments, depending on the evidence base. The Department has no further plans to assess the impact of any dietary measures to prevent or treat depression as there is currently insufficient evidence to attribute mental health outcomes to any individual dietary pattern.<\/p>
The Government promotes a healthy balanced diet, as depicted in the Eatwell Guide, for maintaining general health and wellbeing and for reducing the risk of diet-related diseases. While there is no single Mediterranean diet, such diets tend to include higher intakes of vegetables, fruit, legumes, cereals, fish and monounsaturated fatty acids; lower intakes of saturated fat, dairy products and meat.

The National Health Service has published exercise guidelines for cancer patients and patients may access to local exercise facilities through social prescribing measures by their healthcare team. Advice on appropriate exercise and how to stay active during treatment forms part of any personalised care protocol, such as the personalised stratified follow up pathways deployed for a number of cancers.<\/p>
Social prescribing link workers in primary care can support cancer patients to connect with local exercise opportunities.
