Recommendation
We recommend that by the end of 2021 the department or body with overall responsibility for delivery of the Government’s green jobs policies should, in collaboration with the different departments engaged in green jobs policy, assign indicative costings to each department’s actions within the overall green jobs delivery plan. This should include the Government’s assessment of the funding requirements for green jobs and skills needed within local authorities to deliver the Government’s climate and nature objectives.

As reflected by the Green Jobs Taskforce, the delivery of the government’s green jobs and skills policies is a highly cross-cutting agenda, spanning action across several Government departments. The recommendations of the Green Jobs Taskforce were released prior to the Spending Review 2021. They helped inform to inform Spending Review prioritisation and individual department programme allocations. The Net Zero Strategy has explicitly highlighted these allocations for specific policy areas. Further allocations depend on ongoing and future policy development, and as such it is not possible to set these out to the Committee at this point.
