Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has published a plan setting out the steps it plans to take to transition to net zero emissions.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is committed to reducing emissions and contributing to the UK's transition to net zero. The Department's current progress on reducing emissions has been published, as part of the Greening Government Commitment Annual Report (published by DEFRA).

Indeed, MOD has already halved its carbon emissions from its estates since 2010 and is seeking to further drive down its direct emissions, invest in renewables and energy efficiency measures in support of the Government published the Net Zero Strategy.

Our net zero, climate adaptation and resilience ambitions, as well as the range of actions we are taking are set out in our Climate Change and Sustainability Strategic Approach (publishing.service.gov.uk). Further information on the progress MOD is making can be found in the MOD's Annual Report and Accounts published on Gov.uk.
