Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department plans to produce an integrated legislative plan to help reach (a) climate and (b) nature targets.

This Government is committed to tackling the climate and nature crises and has a well-developed legislative framework in place through the Climate Change Act 2008 and the Environment Act 2021. In July 2025, the DESNZ and Defra Secretaries of State held the first Climate and Nature Statement in Parliament. Our focus is on making rapid progress towards our climate and nature targets, which will be set out later this year in the Environmental Improvement Plan and an updated plan for meeting carbon budgets.
