answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>The Net Zero Strategy included a mix of quantified proposals and policies, as well as some additional emerging proposals and policies at earlier stages of development which we were unable to quantify. It is inherently difficult to quantify the emission reductions that a particular proposal or policy will generate over time with certainty. This was especially the case for meeting the sixth carbon budget, given that it was 12-16 years ahead. The Government is seeking permission from the Court of Appeal to appeal the judgment.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 20/09/2022 09:37:47 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

Depending on which accounting methodology would be adopted as the international standard at COP26, shortly after the Strategy’s publication, the quantified policies were projected to deliver either ~95% or, as under the now agreed standard, over 100% of the emissions reductions needed for the sixth carbon budget.
