Our progress in delivering the Clean Growth Strategy is set out in detail in the Government Response to the Committee on Climate Change’s Annual Progress Report to Parliament, which includes an assessment of progress against key actions and milestones.

‘Delivering Clean Growth’, our response to the CCC’s 2018 Progress Report, highlighted our achievements in 2018 while establishing new stretching milestones for 2019 to continue to drive progress on our commitments. This can be read at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/committee-on-climate-changes-2018-progress-report-government-response

The Government welcomes and shares young people’s enthusiasm for tackling climate change. We engage with young people on these issues through a variety of channels, including as part of the first ever Green GB Week, which was held in October 2018 to showcase the benefits, opportunities and challenges of tackling climate change and driving clean growth. We look forward to engaging with young people when Green GB Week returns for a second week of clean growth action on 4 November 2019.
