Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Ambassador and Mr. High Commissioner, for being here today.

Mr. High Commissioner, if I could start with you, please, in the plan that you provided us today, the “UK Climate Change Policy”, you indicate that by 2020, for example, you have a goal of creating 1.2 million green jobs.

I presume that some of those jobs have been created already on our way to 2020. Could you describe what those green jobs are and where they've been created? What is the nature of those jobs?
