During my trip to #COP29, it was great to meet @StarkClimate - Head of Mission Control for Clean Power 2030, at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. I got to ask him about the UK’s role at COP29 and what it means for people living back home in Britain. Follow @energygovuk for more about COP29.
