Telegraph, 02 Nov 2021
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has praised a deal struck at Cop26 to help prevent the loss of forests worldwide.
In a speech on the second day of the climate conference in Glasgow, Mr Johnson said the deal between 28 countries accounted for around "three-quarters of global trade".
Countries such as China, Brazil and Russia have all signed up to the declaration, which pledges to "work together to halt and reverse deforestation and land degradation by 2030", Mr Johnson said.
He added that he was hoping private sector investment in "development of clean technologies" would aid in the mission.
