Climate Change Reporting by Specified Public Bodies consultation

News article

Views sought on development of new regulations that will place climate change reporting duties on specified public bodies.

The Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) is seeking views to help inform the development of new regulations that will place climate change reporting duties on specified public bodies.

Feedback through the consultation will help to inform the development of future regulations that will place climate change reporting duties on specified public bodies. These regulations are required to be made under section 42 of the Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022.

The consultation sets out and discusses relevant background information, legal context and requirements, and other potential important considerations in relation to what the future regulations should look like. Other related matters are also discussed such as what support is potentially needed by specified public bodies to help them meet their climate change reporting duties once the regulations are made.

The closing date for responses is 11:59pm on Friday 9 June 2023.
