That is great. Is it a commitment? The climate is affecting every Department. If the ESRI is saying it has not considered that before, I would love to hear that it is something not that it could do but that it will do. From talking to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and doing loads of research, there is a huge issue with small businesses knowing their carbon footprints. There is a whole body of work that needs to be done around that. We did all this work on Brexit and collected all the statistics, and we must have paid loads of consultants loads of money to figure out what we have been importing and exporting with our neighbours across the water, so it would be great to see that being used to help us to deal with the climate emergency. There is an economic cost but as Larry Fink said, "climate risk is investment risk". These days, nothing is economically viable unless it is climate resilient. It would be really good to see that commitment.
