Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, with reference to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs during the second reading of the Climate and Nature Bill on 24 January 2025, whether his Department plans to make a statement on the state of climate and nature before summer recess 2026.

The Government intends to deliver the second Statement on Climate and Nature to Parliament this summer. Like last year's statement, it will provide an honest appraisal of the state of climate and nature in the UK alongside highlighting the action being taken to benefit people now, as well as future generations.
