A report from the third Stakeholder Forum, held on 10 May 2023, will be published shortly which will highlight the outputs of this forum, which have been incorporated into the National Dialogue on Climate Action through the Climate Conversations 2023. The outputs of the Climate Conversations will be used to inform policy by inputting into future iterations of the Climate Action Plan.
