Recommendation 35
35
Accepted in Part
Paragraph: 201
Undertake initial review of Jet Zero Strategy modelling by end of 2025 for emissions targets.
Recommendation
We recommend that an initial review of the Jet Zero Strategy and the modelling underlying its ‘high ambition’ scenario be undertaken no later than the end of 2025, with a view to determining whether the Strategy remains on track to meet the interim emissions reductions projected for 2030 and 2040 as well as the overall reductions projected for 2050.
Government Response Summary
The government notes the recommendation, stating they will monitor progress annually from 2025 but reaffirming the first major review of the Strategy and delivery plan will be in 2027, rather than by the end of 2025. They also plan to produce a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework.

Government Response

HM Government
Accepted in Part
The Government notes this recommendation. The Government are committed to a data led approach in our policy making and we remain transparent in our modelling towards Jet Zero. We will monitor progress against our emissions reduction trajectory on an annual basis from 2025, with a major review of the Strategy and delivery plan every five years. The first major review will be in 2027, five years after publication of the Strategy in 2022. We are consistently reviewing and updating our underlying evidence and analysis relating to aviation decarbonisation, and any updated modelling as a result of this will be included in our reviews of the Jet Zero Strategy. To further our monitoring and to effectively track progress against our Jet Zero targets, we plan to produce a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework which will include suggestions for appropriate data collection methods, monitoring metrics, and evaluation activities.
