My question is slightly related to the point made by Deputy Murphy. There is a lack of public engagement on climate change, renewable energy, targets and all the challenges that face us nationally and globally.

As part of this process, is there any Europe-wide public information plan or engagement, rather than leaving it to advocacy groups, to ensure there will be a more united approach taken by all member states to engage with communities?
