Tackling climate change must be woven into the solution to the Covid-19 economic crisis, the UK will tell governments next week.
Environment ministers from 30 countries are meeting in a two-day online conference in a bid to make progress on cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
The gathering is called the "Petersberg Climate Dialogue".
It will focus on how to organise a "green" economic recovery after the acute phase of the pandemic is over.
The other aim is to forge international agreement on ambitious carbon cuts despite the postponement of the key conference COP26 - previously scheduled for Glasgow in November (now without a date).
Alok Sharma, the UK Climate Secretary and president of COP26, said: "I am committed to increasing global climate ambition so that we deliver on the Paris Agreement (to stabilise temperature rise well below 2C).
"The world must work together, as it has to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, to support a green and resilient recovery, which leaves no one behind.
"At the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, we will come together to discuss how we can turn ambition into real action."
The EU is already set on delivering a green stimulus. The Commission's Green Deal chief, Frans Timmermans, said every euro spent on economic recovery measures after the COVID-19 crisis would be linked to the green and digital transitions.

That is what every one of these clowns needs, for an indefinite time. They would likely scream enough within 2 weeks. Make them last a couple of months longer. Make it something they can remember.
I was living in South Alabama in the aftermath of a hurricane. 2 weeks without power. 95 degrees during the day and 85 at night.
Those clowns wouldn’t last.
There is a characteristic and a fundamental rule when you are brain dead i.e. liberal.
First the rule: Hardships I impose are for others. (I don't know when that bimbo from New York plans to get her goods and services when people who provide them ALL refuse to go back to work.)<
Now the characteristic: Braindead i.e. liberal people love humanity. It's people they can't stand.
The best lesson my dad taught me is to “Make Do”.
Make do with what you have at the time.
Also to be a prepper so that you don’t have such a hard time.
Ant and the Grasshopper. Be the ant and don’t starve like the grasshopper.
