Answer

Green Growth agreements are still in the early development stage and as such, no commitments have yet been made in regards to their full scope. It is envisaged however, that Green Growth agreements will be crosscutting and include input from several Departments.

An ongoing review of the existing NIEA Prosperity Agreement programme and feedback from the upcoming Green Growth stakeholder engagement will help to inform the full scope and design of the proposed Green Growth agreements which is expected to be completed by 30 November 2021.
