Climate Change Risk: National Audit Office Guidance

Lord Bishop of Bristol Excerpts

Monday 25th October 2021 Lords Chamber

[The Lord Bishop of Bristol]

My Lords, following the recent Dasgupta review, then Government committed to incorporating nature into the national accounts and improving guidance for embedding environmental concerns into policy-making processes. Can the Government provide an update on the timescale for this work?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie (Con)]

The right reverend Prelate will know that Defra leads on environmental matters and on the greening government commitments, or GGCs, the UK Government’s ambitions to improve the environmental performance of its own estate and operations. We expect the greening government commitments to be published in the very near future.
