Climate

India and the UK will work together on one of the biggest challenges the world faces, helping to strengthen collaboration between global partners: we will co-lead global climate action, encouraging others to achieve milestone agreements on climate change, enhance bilateral cooperation towards low carbon development and climate resilient pathways, mobilise investment and channel climate finance towards implementation of the United Nations Framework for the Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement and supporting a resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. We commit to safeguarding our planet and building a more environmentally sustainable and inclusive future together, holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Our nationally determined contributions will represent a progression reflecting the highest possible ambition, compatible with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
