Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

These Regulations amend Part 1 of the Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 to set the emissions reduction target for 2040 as a percentage. This implements a recommendation from the UK Committee on Climate Change.

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs has carried out the required impact assessments and conducted a 16-week public consultation.

A regulatory impact assessment has been produced for this Statutory Rule. Copies can be obtained from Climate Change and Green Growth Policy Division, Clare House, 303 Airport Road West, Belfast, BT3 9ED or by emailing GreenGrowthFeedback@daera-ni.gov.uk .
