The UK’s objectives for the 21st meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP21) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are to secure an ambitious and legally binding agreement that includes mitigation commitments from all countries to help reduce emissions globally, consistent with a path towards the 2°C goal. Further, the UK wants the Agreement to recognise the role public finance, private sector investment and alternative sources of finance can play in ensuring greater investment in green technology.
