Written answers

In May of this year, my Department held a series of climate conversations under the National Dialogue for Climate Action (NDCA), including a broad Public Consultation where we heard from 4,000 people, communities and organisations capturing their views on the climate challenge, their perceived capacity to act to combat climate change, and what Government needs to do to make it easier to live in a sustainable way.

These conversations indicated a sense of urgency among the public around climate change and an eagerness to actively engage in a national response. I am committed to publishing the results of that conversation shortly and can confirm that they are informing the Climate Action Plan 2021 and the development of a revised structure for the National Dialogue on Climate Action (NDCA) both which will shortly be completed.
