Recommendation (the committee's words)
In line with the recommendation from the Climate Change Committee, and seemingly in line with its own commitment in the Net Zero Strategy, we urge the Government to immediately begin consulting local government on the contents of a draft net zero delivery framework setting out the relative roles and responsibilities of local and central government. The framework should also clarify the critical role local government must play in delivering a just transition that benefits all communities. The Government should also consult local government on what additional powers it might need to meet its climate targets.
