Have your say on a proposed amendment to the second emissions reduction plan

The Government is consulting on a formal amendment to the second emissions reduction plan to reflect its revised approach to reducing agricultural emissions.

The second emissions reduction plan was released in December 2024 and sets out the Government’s plan to meet the second emissions budget, which is from 2026 – 2030.

The plan outlines targeted actions across the sectors of our economy that product the greatest emissions: agriculture, transport, energy and waste.

The Government’s approach to emissions reduction is focused on meeting our climate change commitments in a way that enables both our economy and climate to thrive. This includes taking actions that drive down emissions in a coordinated and cost-effective way.

Consultation closes at 11.59pm on 26 November 2025. Feedback will inform the Government’s decisions on an amendment to the second emissions reduction plan.
