Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the progress made towards meeting the UK's net zero target.

The Government has published Powering Up Britain, which contained a Carbon Budget Delivery Plan, setting the UK on course to reach Net Zero by 2050.

The UK over-achieved against the first and second carbon budgets, and the latest projections show that it is on track to meet the third. Taken together, the Net Zero Strategy pathways for every sector of the UK economy keep the UK on track for Carbon Budgets 4, 5 and 6, the UK's 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution, and ultimately for net zero by 2050.
