The Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr Alister Jack)

Getting Brexit done will allow us to focus on delivering important reforms to domestic issues through our legislative programme. The Government are at the forefront of tackling climate change, as the first major economy to legislate to end our contribution to global warming by setting a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Next year we will introduce the Environment Bill to guarantee the protection and restoration of our natural environment, putting these issues at the centre of policy making. On top of this, we are bringing world leaders to Glasgow for the United Nations 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) climate conference next year.
