UK bypasses Donald Trump to discuss climate change with US city mayors directly

UK bypasses Donald Trump to discuss climate change with US city mayors directly

The UK has started bypassing Donald Trump over climate change, talking directly to city mayors and other officials committed to trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the new Climate Change Minister has revealed.


Claire Perry, who was appointed to the post after the general election last month, said that British ministers had not “missed an opportunity” to tell the US President that they were disappointed he had decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change, the news service Bloomberg reported.


She said she had been speaking to “other players” in the US, including the mayor of Houston, Sylvester Turner, who visited the UK last week.


Ms Perry suggested the UK could steal a march on the US economy because of its leadership role in trying to limit global warming, as the world shifts to a low-carbon economy.
