Parliament opens climate adaptation inquiry with evidence deadline of 21 October
Linked to Net Zero & Energy
The inquiry directly covers infrastructure resilience, extreme weather and adaptation funding, all relevant to our UK-wide operations and investment planning. It gives us a timely opportunity to support practical resilience measures and ensure infrastructure operators’ delivery and cost concerns are understood. Recommended actions: 1. Map the inquiry questions against Northstar’s infrastructure resilience and operational evidence. 2. Ask Operations for examples of weather-related disruption, adaptation investment and delivery barriers. 3. Prepare an internal submission recommendation for Public Affairs, Legal and Operations review. 4. Check whether existing Net Zero messaging supports a proportionate adaptation position without creating new commitments.
