Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking with Local Authorities to achieve Government’s Net Zero targets.
The Net Zero Strategy sets out the UK's commitments to enable local areas to deliver net zero.
This includes establishing a Local Net Zero Forum to bring together national and local Government senior officials on a regular basis to discuss policy and delivery options on net zero; running the Local Net Zero Hubs Programme to support all local areas with their capability and capacity to meet net zero; and funding work to develop business models to increase private sector investment in local net zero.
