British Ambassador Paul Arkwright handed over the 4 Degree Map to Frans Timmermans, Dutch Minister for Europe. The 4 Degree Map illustrates the impact of climate change if the global average temperature rose by 4 degrees Celsius and shows the high vulnerability of every region.

The Ambassador said that "the UK and the Netherlands are key allies in developing national policies, furthering technologies and convincing EU Member States as well as those from outside the EU, of the need to take action. Both our governments share the understanding of how important it is to curb emissions and make a global transition to a sustainable economy and a sustainable society. The coming 44 days will prove crucial.  All countries are gearing up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit."
