The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the contribution of the devolved Administrations to meeting the UK's net zero target.

Answered by Kerry McCarthy

The Net Zero, Energy and Climate Change Interministerial Group (IMG) supports the UK's net zero targets by coordinating engagement and promoting collaboration between UK and devolved governments. The devolved governments have significantly contributed through initiatives in renewable energy and sustainability. The next IMG meeting, chaired by NI Ministers, will be on 6 March in Belfast.
