3:54Now PlayingBoris Johnson's government has reneged on key promises it has made in the efforts to combat climate change, according to one of the most senior Conservative environmentalists.
The Tory chair of the Climate Change Committee - which advises the government on tackling global warming - has condemned the decision by ministers to give into Australian demands to water down environmental protections in the UK-Australia trade deal.
Sky News published a leaked government email that revealed Liz Truss, the international trade secretary, and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng decided the government could "drop both of the climate asks" from the text of the trade deal.
