Achieving Net Zero: Follow up

Inquiry

In March 2021 the Committee warned that Government has “no plan” for achieving Net Zero, two years after setting target in law.

With the major international COP 26 climate conference hosted by the UK fast approaching, PAC will question senior officials at DBEIS and HM Treasury on how the UK is now going to map out and lead the way on the path to Net Zero by 2050.

If you have evidence on these issues please submit it here by Thursday 21 October 2021.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Thursday 21 October 2021.
