Question

To ask the President of COP26, with reference to his role as chair of the Climate Action Implementation Cabinet Committee, what steps the Government will take to meet its Net Zero targets.

I am the chair of the Climate Action Implementation Cabinet Committee, which is responsible for considering matters relating to the delivery of the United Kingdom’s domestic and international climate strategy.

This government remains committed to net zero. It is important that we deliver a managed energy transition that protects energy security and does not place undue burdens on businesses or consumers. Chris Skidmore MP will therefore lead a rapid review of the government’s approach to net zero, to ensure we deliver our legally-binding target in a way that is pro-business and pro-growth.
