While the UK&#8217;s emissions are down by 48 per cent since 1990, China&#8217;s have risen 300 per cent, he added pointedly.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, his spokesman singled out Beijing and said its role was &#8216;vitally important&#8217; to achieving climate goals for the world.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak also announced a deal between the firms Masdar and RWE to jointly invest in the UK&#8217;s \u00a311billion windfarm at Dogger Bank \u2013 which will be the biggest in the world.

Mr Sunak defended his move to issue more licences for North Sea exploration, arguing that &#8216;the practical and sensible thing for the country is to make sure we use the resources at home as part of that sensible transition&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>He said he meant &#8216;the people protesting outside my house&#8217; when he had insisted he would not allow &#8216;ideological zealots&#8217; to dictate climate policy.
