Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether her Department has implemented a training programme to provide civil servants with skills to support its transition to net zero.
The new Government Curriculum will include modules on Net Zero, climate change and wider environmental issues for government. The Government Skills & Curriculum Unit is working with other Departments (including the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) to create training resource for all civil servants. This will be piloted from April 2022.
