Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what her planned timetable is for publishing the Net Zero and Nature Workforce Action Plan.

The Government’s net zero and environmental goals depend on the UK having the right workforce, with the right skills and capacity in the right locations across the UK. To tackle emerging and future workforce demands across the economy, the Government convened the Green Jobs Delivery Group and is focused on the creation of a cross-Government Green Jobs Plan, for publication in the first half of 2024. The Green Jobs Plan will provide Government and industry actions needed to ensure we have a sufficiently skilled workforce to deliver on the Government’s net zero, nature and energy security targets.
