Prior to that he served as the UN\u2019s Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP26, and as the UNFCCC\u2019s Global Ambassador on the \u2018Race to Zero\u2019 and the \u2018Race to Resilience\u2019.

I welcome the arrival of Nigel as permanent Chair &#8211; his vast experience of working with the private sector will be invaluable to grow the role of business in the energy and land-use transition.

The UK has an opportunity to deliver on its climate commitments in a way that reduces costs for households, powers our industries forward, and makes our economy more successful. It\u2019s also important to ensure resilience against growing climate impacts and I look forward to working with Baroness Brown who leads our adaptation work.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to offer my sincere thanks to Professor Piers Forster, who has been our interim Chair since Lord Deben stepped down. He has led the Committee through an incredibly busy period overseeing advice on the UK\u2019s Seventh Carbon Budget, three devolved carbon budgets, and a number of key progress reports to Government.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am committed to upholding the rigour and independent nature of the Committee\u2019s advice, while harnessing our country\u2019s wealth of
