As part of the whole-of-Government approach to climate action, the Department of Finance is working with other government Departments and agencies in a co-ordinated manner in order to support the delivery of targeted reductions in overall greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and to reach net-zero emissions by no later than 2050.

In relation to the Climate Action and Biodiversity (Mandates of Certain Organisations) Bill 2023, the Government's response is being led by my colleague, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. While officials in my Department have had some limited engagement on this legislation, questions regarding the Government's response to the Bill should be directed to that Minister.
