View answerAs part of the Climate Action Plan 2023, my Department is committed to the requirement for public bodies to report on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate. The requirement (for those public sector bodies to which the Mandate applies) to report on the Climate Action Mandate, is already placed within the governance section of my Department’s website, on the pages where the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies and its annexes are published.
On the link below to the governance section of my Departments website, the Deputy will find the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies and associated documents/annexes/reporting requirements including the requirement to report on the Public Sector Climate Action Mandate.

In addition, any future revisions to the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies will also reflect the requirement (as currently published on the governance pages of my Department's website) for those public sector bodies to which the Mandate applies.
