COP26 Regional Ambassador Fiona Clouder travels to Honduras
UK Government’s Regional Ambassador for Latin America and the Caribbean, Fiona Clouder, will visit Honduras on 27 August.
Ambassador Clouder will be in Honduras to help ensure the delivery of COP26 objectives by engaging with representatives of government, businesses and wider society. In the meetings Ambassador Clouder will thrive for a COP26 that could achieve ambitious emission reduction targets, promote adaptation measures to protect communities and natural habitats, mobilize finance in favour of the environment, and accelerate collaboration between governments, businesses and civil society to deliver on our climate goals faster.
Ambassador Clouder will discuss this with the Presidential Commissioner for Climate Change, Orlando Garner; the Deputy Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Karen Najarro; the Secretary of Environment, Liliam Rivera; the Secretary of Agriculture, Mauricio Guevara; the Secretary of Energy, Roberto Ordóñez, and the Secretary of Finance, Carlos Mata. She will also have discussions with the organization SUSTENTA Honduras, a group of youngsters implementing a UK funded project that will develop virtual events and social media campaigns to foster public awareness of climate change. Finally, Ambassador Clouder will discuss with Honduran civil society about their contributions to the COP26.
In the run up to COP26, the UK is working with every nation to reach agreement on how to tackle climate change. More than 190 world leaders are expected to arrive in Scotland where the COP26 will take place in November this year. Together, with negotiators, government representatives, businesses and citizens for twelve days of talks, we aim to spur commitments that could lead to cleaner air, creating good jobs, restoring nature and at the same time unleashing economic growth.
