Climate Change

Volume 717: debated on Monday 22 February 2010

Question

Asked by

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether their negotiators at climate change conferences utilise the work of the Optimum Population Trust, particularly its statement, Population and Climate Change, of August 2009. [HL1881]

Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), UK negotiators form part of the wider EU negotiation team which uses EU Council conclusions as the basis for negotiation positions. Population issues have not so far formed part of the UNFCCC negotiations.
