Defence: Carbon Emissions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 135 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, what progress he has made on decarbonising energy systems across defence.
- Answer
-
The Strategic Defence Review sets a path for the next decade and beyond to transform Defence and make the UK stronger both at home and abroad. The Government endorses the Review's vision and accepts all 62 recommendations.
The implementation of the Review's recommendations is underway. Implementation will be priority business of the Department and will be executed through a whole of UK Defence effort.
We will develop a new Defence Investment Plan to take onboard the Review's vision and recommendations and turn them into a delivery plan. We will ensure that this Plan is affordable, considers infrastructure and people, alongside capabilities, enables flexibility to seize new technological opportunities, and maximises the benefits of defence spending to grow the UK economy. The decarbonisation of energy systems is incorporated into this approach.
