In December I made a speech in which I committed to a long-term effort to revive old friendships and build new ones, reaching beyond our traditional alliances. I have travelled to a number of countries that fall into that category, as have my ministerial colleagues and friends. I commend the hon. Friend on the work he has done in building not only trade links but a strong bilateral relationship between the UK and Brazil. I will be seeking to reinforce his efforts on my forthcoming trip to Brazil because it is an important and influential country with huge natural resources.

We are, and my right hon. Friend the Development Minister is personally leading the conversation on behalf of the UK Government about international financial institutions being more active in that very field, to ensure that they look again at their risk appetite so that we can unlock the trillions of dollars of available finance to help countries transition from hydrocarbon sources of energy to renewable sources. That is a conversation we have regularly both bilaterally and multilaterally.
