The UK has ratified the Paris Agreement on climate change, which was agreed at the UN’s COP21 meeting in the French capital last December.
The agreement commits the world to trying to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Secretary of State Greg Clark (pictured) said: “As we ratify this landmark agreement, we look ahead to continuing our leadership on climate action and ensuring that British business continues to play a key role in this new global low carbon economy.
“It will benefit the UK while we implement our industrial strategy to deliver the economy that works for all.”
