The breadth of work the Government is doing through the Strategy will reinforce the UK\u2019s status as a leading centre for green finance.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The Chancellor of the Exchequer is responsible for setting the Remit for the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) once per year, and may also make recommendations regarding matters the FPC should consider as relevant to its primary financial stability objective and its secondary objective to support the Government\u2019s economic policy.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The FPC's remit is an important accountability mechanism to ensure the Committee has a clear framework through which it can make policy decisions and consider any trade-offs. This is important given the complexity of the FPC\u2019s work.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Yearly updates to the Remit ensure that it reflects the current economic context, the Government\u2019s policy, as well as the FPC\u2019s responsibilities and powers. Climate change is an important part of the FPC's remit: both due to the relevance of climate related risks to the Committee\u2019s primary financial stability objective, and because increasing long-term energy security and delivering Net Zero are included as key parts of the Government\u2019s economic policy and are therefore relevant to its secondary objective.<\/p>"}
