Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the expected cost is to his Department of meeting net zero and environmental targets over the next five years.

The Ministry of Defence will contribute to the UK’s Net Zero and environmental targets primarily through the Greening Government Commitments. These commitments provide the central framework for Departments and their agencies to reduce their impact on the environment over a five-year period.

The Greening Government Commitments for the period 2025-2030 are currently under review to ensure that they remain aligned with this government’s priorities.
