Written answers

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

My Department has delivered all of its actions for Climate Action Plan 2023 and therefore has no delayed action in 2023 to report.

With regard to Climate Action Plan 2021, there are no Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science actions outstanding.

My Department remains committed to actively contributing to the overall delivery of Climate Action objectives.
