Belém Declaration on Fertilisers
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)

The Belém Declaration on Fertilisers urges for more to be done to enhance nutrient use efficiency and reduce emissions from fertiliser production.

Joint Brazil–UK ministerial call to action on fertilisers

Today, 19 November 2025, the UK and Brazil have announced a global call to action on fertilisers, furthering our partnership on fertilisers (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-brazil-to-show-global-leadership-on-fertilisers-sustainability) to tackle their environmental impact and embrace their economic opportunities.

The Belém Declaration on Fertilisers, launched at COP30 in Brazil this year, urges for more to be done to enhance nutrient use efficiency and reduce emissions from fertiliser production as a key pathway to delivering climate goals, protecting and restoring nature, and ensuring food security for all in an equitable and just manner.

The need for international collaboration is clear. The 2025 Breakthrough Agenda report chapter on fertilisers published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in collaboration with the Climate Champions Team suggested 4 key pillars to focus on:
- standards and certification
- demand creation
- finance and investment
- research and innovation
Under the Global Climate Action Agenda at COP30 this year, the UK has also collaborated on a Plan to Accelerate Fertiliser Solutions (https://climateaction.unfccc.int/CopsAndSummits/COP30) to assess actions already underway, identify gaps, promote acceleration of those actions and coordinate across organisational barriers to deliver change.

The UK is committed to working with partners to champion the critical role of sustainable agriculture and food systems. Together, we aim to mobilise greater action into nature-positive, climate-resilient agricultural solutions, ensuring that feeding the world does not compromise our climate, ecosystems, or future generations.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Overspeeding at Grantham South Junction
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-01)

Overspeeding incident at Grantham South Junction, Lincolnshire, 26 September 2025.

At around 09:20 on 26 September 2025, train reporting number 1Y80, the 07:08 Middlesbrough to London Kings Cross service, operated by London North Eastern Railway (LNER), was involved in an overspeeding incident at Grantham South Junction.

The train was routed over diverging points with a permanent speed restriction of 25 mph (40 km/h). The associated signals displayed the expected indications; however, the train traversed the points at 56 mph (90 km/h). The permissible speed in this area for a train which remains on the main line is 115 mph (184 km/h).

This caused the train to lurch sideways and passengers on board reported to LNER through social media that they received minor injuries. Later, follow-up enquiries led to the seriousness of the event being understood.

We have undertaken a preliminary examination (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/raibs-response-to-accident-and-incident-notification#preliminary-examination) and reviewed a similar incident at this location and two previous investigations into similar overspeeding events that occurred at Spital Junction, Peterborough on 17 April 2022 (report 06/2023 (https://www.gov.uk/raib-reports/report-06-slash-2023-train-overspeeding-at-spital-junction)) and 4 May 2023 (report 10/2024 (https://www.gov.uk/raib-reports/report-10-slash-2024-overspeed-at-spital-junction-peterborough)). As the previous investigations still have open recommendations, RAIB has decided to publish a safety digest (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/raibs-response-to-accident-and-incident-notification#how-raib-selects-accidents-to-investigate) for this incident.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

The Prime Minister spoke to the Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney this evening.

They discussed their commitment to working together to maintain global economic stability in the wake of the announcement from the United States this week. An all-out trade war is in no-one’s interest, they agreed.

Both agreed on the importance of free and open trade between like-minded nations, and the Prime Minister stated that trading blocs such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership will be important in this new global era.

Prime Minister Carney thanked the Prime Minister for his leadership on Ukraine and reaffirmed his commitment to Canada playing a role in the Coalition of the Willing.

Looking ahead, the Prime Minister said he was looking forward to travelling to Canada for the G7 Summit in June.

They agreed to stay in close contact.
