To reach net zero we must take a UK-wide approach. The UK Government and the Devolved Administrations are committed to working together to deliver coordinated policy action to meet respective emissions reduction targets across the UK. Combined, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland produced 22% of UK emissions in 2019,34 and accounted for 16% of the UK's population, 13% of economic activity 138 and nearly half of the UK's land area (46%) 139. Powers and policies to deliver ambitious emissions reductions in the Devolved Administrations Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are partly reserved to the UK Government and partly devolved. The UK Government and the Devolved Administrations have established governance arrangements to ensure a joined-up and collaborative approach to climate change. At the bimonthly Net Zero, Energy and Climate Change Inter-Ministerial Group, UK Government ministers meet with Devolved Administration counterparts to discuss emerging policies that will contribute to delivery of net zero targets across the UK, such as delivering a UKwide Emissions Trading Scheme, and the level of the sixth carbon budget which was set in law in June 2021. The Group is supported by the official-level Net Zero Nations Board on alternate months. These committees are supported by well-established and robust governance at official level. This includes a cross-government Director General group that was established in 2019 to ensure a whole-of-government approach to climate policy, with oversight at the most senior levels. Chaired by the BEIS Director General for Net Zero and International, this group brings together officials from across government, creating a whole system perspective, to support the delivery of significant climate announcements, including those contained in this Strategy.
