It is also enormously important to invest in building and maintaining long-term relationships between the people of the UK and the people of China. For example, during the past year, China has set more ambitious targets for limiting its emissions of carbon dioxide, and was supported through constructive engagements between universities in China and the UK. The UK must continue to find ways to work with the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, particularly China, in order to promote an effective multilateral approach to stopping climate change.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob Ward, Policy and Communications Director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said: &ldquo;It is very welcome that the Government has recognised the importance of tackling climate change and biodiversity loss, and has set a goal of making the UK a scientific superpower. However, it is difficult to reconcile this vision for Global Britain with the decision to make devastating cuts to the Global Challenges Research Fund, as a result of the thoroughly reprehensible decision to slash overseas aid. This reckless and sudden move will abruptly end many critical projects that are designed to provide a better understanding of how to promote sustainable development and deal with climate change in poor countries.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Commenting on the publication today by the UK Government of&nbsp;&lsquo;Global Britain in a Competitive Age: the Integrated Review of Security,&hellip;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":54234,"template":"","tags":[394,154,213,437,106],"news-category":[15],"topic_area":[4696,4705,4706,4699],"class_list":["post-54232","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biodiversity","tag-china","tag-overseas-aid","tag-uk","tag-uk-policy","news-category-10-press-releases","topic_area-uk-emissions-policy","topic_area-leadership","topic_area-major-emitting-countries","topic_area-biodiversity"],"acf":{"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":false,"type":"repeater","post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
