1b: PAC recommendation: HM Treasury should by COP26 in November 2021, set out a clear vision of how it will work to help the UK achieve net zero. 1.4 The government agrees with the Committee’s recommendation. Target implementation date: Autumn 2021 1.5 Work on the government’s Net Zero Strategy is being led by BEIS, and, as per the government response to the Committee on Climate Change’s 2020 Progress Report, they will publish a comprehensive net zero strategy on behalf of the government ahead of COP26. This will set out the government’s vision for transitioning to a net zero economy, making the most of new growth and employment opportunities across the UK. 1.6 It is not the role of HM Treasury to publish a separate strategy. Nevertheless, the NZR will include an update on how climate considerations are being embedded within HM Treasury governance arrangements, guidance and processes, including at fiscal events.
