Conclusion
We welcome the COP26 President’s engagement with APPGs and his plans to explore the potential for further briefings with these groups, which are a key link between parliamentarians and wider stakeholder groups. However, this should not be considered to be a substitute for public scrutiny by Parliament, which will be key to ensuring transparency and accountability.
Government Response Summary
The government's response focuses on the importance of COP26 and diplomatic efforts, but does not address the committee's concern about parliamentary scrutiny not being substituted by APPG engagement.
