UK Energy Minister Ed Miliband is in Beijing to discuss emissions and human rights with Chinese officials. He aims to address issues like Hong Kong and forced labor while emphasizing climate cooperation. Miliband's visit follows British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's push for stronger ties with China, despite concerns over security and human rights. He plans to invite Chinese officials to London later this year for climate talks. China, the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, missed a key climate target in 2024, raising concerns about its commitment to the Paris agreement. The UK aims to decarbonize by 2050 and enhance its clean energy transition.
