Summary of the responses to the Consultation on the establishment of a Just Transition Commission
Date published:
On 11 November 2024, DAERA launched a public consultation lasting 10 weeks closing on 20 January 2025. The consultation sought the views on the establishment of the Just Transition Commission for Northern Ireland.
The consultation set out a number of proposals regarding the composition of the Commission. These included the type of public body the Commission should be, its structure, the Commission’s role and legislated functions, the sectors to be represented, its reporting arrangements, and the necessary secretariat and support.
Consultation
The consultation received 100 responses. DAERA engaged with consultees through a number of events that were held both on-line and in-person, some of which were hosted by external organisations, and others were direct engagement sessions with those sectors and groups mandated for representation on the Commission by the Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022.
DAERA are grateful to everyone who took time to respond to this consultation and/or attended the workshop/engagement events.
