Local Net Zero Forum
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will take steps to put the local net zero forum on a statutory footing.
- Answer
-
The Government recognises that local authorities can, and do, play an essential role in driving local climate action, with significant influence in many of the national priorities across energy, housing, and transport, which will be needed to achieve net zero. The Net Zero Strategy sets out the Government's commitments to enable local areas to deliver net zero.
The Local Net Zero Forum has met three times at official level and held a ministerial level meeting on 09 February. There are no plans to make the Forum a statutory body.
