answer text <p>As outlined in the Net Zero Review final report, HM Treasury is building its governance, capabilities and processes to support our transition to Net Zero. This includes developing a range of analytical approaches in order to develop our understanding of the many complexities of the economics of net zero and associated policy choices. Integrating the climate into macroeconomic models is an ongoing global effort and much of the international work is preliminary. HM Treasury is leading these discussions and will endeavour to use the best available evidence and analytical tools to carry out its economic assessment of net zero. Significant progress has already been made on building this analytical capacity.</p> more like this

This includes both net zero and appraising wider impacts on the environment.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2023, supplementary guidance to the Green Book on the appraisal and evaluation of energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was revised to improve its use for policymaking when applied to climate and environment.</p><p> </p><p>The Treasury requires all departments to adhere to the Green Book guidance when providing a business case for a policy, programme or project.</p> more like this
