WQ.245/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 30th JUNE 2020
Question
Given the pressure on monies put aside to tackle climate change, as agreed by the States Assembly, and the discussions over the nature of the recovery from Covid-19, will the Minister advise what consideration or discussion, if any, has taken place either at the Council of Ministers or within his Department in relation to –
- the Climate Change and Small States: Parliamentarian's Toolkit' produced by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association; and
- the U.N.'s 17 Sustainable Development Goals?
Answer
Due to the redeployment of staff into the COVID-19 public health policy response this has not yet been explored by officers or been bought to the Council of Ministers. It is recognised that this is important and as staff and effort returns to business to usual levels this workstream will be re-considered as part of the resumption of the Climate Emergency work.
