Net Zero Review

Lord Curry of Kirkharle Excerpts

Thursday 1st October 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Penn (Con)]

One of the things that the Net Zero Review is looking at is the role of technology and innovation that might help cities that could struggle to meet the net-zero target to make further progress towards it.

[Lord Curry of Kirkharle (CB) [V]]

My Lords, my interests are as recorded in the register. May I ask the Minister whether the role of agriculture and domestic food production will be taken into account in the review, and also about the future of the emissions trading scheme?

[Baroness Penn (Con)]

Emissions trading is one aspect of meeting our net-zero target, so I think it will be taken into account in the review, as will nature-based solutions to climate change, which also form part of our strategy.
