Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what relationship the National Security Assessment on biodiversity will have with the work of the recently announced Climate Security Taskforce.

The National Security Assessment on biodiversity and the Taskforce on the National Security and Resilience Risks of a Changing Climate and Nature Loss are mutually reinforcing. The Assessment provides the evidence base, and the Taskforce, co-chaired with the Minister for Security, will provide advice to help translate that analysis into practical action across Government.
