Climate Change Act Review Consultation (closed)

As required by the Act, the independent review was carried out in consultation with relevant business, scientific, environment and community bodies, through a series of one-on-one meetings and public online workshops, followed by a public call for written submissions in response to a Discussion Paper.

Thank you to everyone who attended an online workshop or provided a written submission to this consultation process.
