Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether he has taken recent steps to implement the recommendations of the report by the Climate Assembly UK entitled The path to net zero, published on 10 September 2020.

My Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister welcomed the Climate Assembly UK report. The recommendations it set out are an important element of the evidence base and are considered alongside other evidence to inform policy decisions relating to Net Zero. This evidence base has been used in several ways, including to inform development of several government strategies. Many of the Climate Assembly UK’s recommendations are in line with government policy and are already being delivered.
