Recommendation
The Treasury’s Net Zero Review final report should include clear sectoral pathways towards decarbonisation and should address the key policy decisions as to the future of high carbon industries. Particular attention should be given to the potential regional impact of those decisions, and the Government should set out a framework and strategy for supporting those communities which will be most impacted by these changes. This is especially important given the Government’s commitment to a Just Transition as part of the Paris Agreement. (Paragraph 53) Green finance to support green decarbonisation
Government Response Summary
The government states that lead delivery departments are responsible for and produce sectoral strategies, citing the Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy, but does not commit to including clear sectoral pathways or a support framework for impacted communities in the Net Zero Review final report.
