My Hon. Friend, the UK Government firmly supports the need for a long term global carbon reduction goal in the Paris Agreement.

It would send an important signal to business and investors on the global direction of travel.

We have been pleased with the progress made at a political level, including through the G7 and our recent joint statement with South African in October and that by the US and China in September.

We will continue to press for its inclusion in the Paris deal.
