Deputy Jennifer Whitmore asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment for an update on his Department’s development of a Just Transition Policy Toolkit intended to support the integration of just transition considerations in policymakers and due in Quarter 4 2025, as committed to in the Climate Action Plan 2025; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 215 and 216 together.
My Department recently published its Statement of Strategy for the period 2025-2028. This Strategy includes a key strategic objective to provide climate leadership to accelerate the delivery of a just transition to climate neutrality. As a key action to deliver on this objective, my Department is developing a just transition strategy which is due for publication next year. This strategy will aim to set out a clear and understood vision for a just transition to a climate neutral economy and society. In this context, I am considering the optimum approach to the development of the Just Transition Indicators Framework and the Just Transition Toolkit.
The development of the strategy is also in line with the recommendations of the Just Transition Commission's Introductory Report (June 2025) in which the Commission called for a shared vision and for a "strategic approach to put just transition at the heart of climate action".
