A Climate Change bill has been tabled to the Northern Ireland Assembly with a target to reach Net Zero emissions by 2045. The Bill has been drafted by legal experts, scientists, academics and environmental organisations and is being taken forward as a private members Bill with support from a number of parties within the Executive. This represents a landmark moment for climate action in Northern Ireland and will help ensure that we make a meaningful contribution to addressing climate change. The NFFN are supportive of the Bill and will be working with others to ensure that it helps all farmers transition to nature friendly practises which benefit nature, climate and the environment.
