  Just a few weeks after attending @COP27 it was great to set out the government's ambitious work on green finance at today's Westminster Hall debate.

  Super questions from Brooklands Primary School’s Parliament - covering topics from climate change & protecting our planet, to democracy & lolly pop ladies.

  At my first @hmtreasury orals today I set out the UK’s record on sustainable energy generation, which has more than tripled in the last decade.

  COP27 was a crucial milestone in the global fight against climate change & a reminder that international cooperation is vital.

  Today at @COP27P I welcomed new guidance for companies to set out how they will meet their #NetZero targets  This is great progress by the @TPTaskforce & builds on our COP26 commitment for the UK to be the world’s first net zero-aligned financial centre. https://x.com/jcartlidgemp/status/1590376857450385408/photo/1 [Source]
