To ask the Minister for Infrastructure how her Department will ensure its policies and strategies align with the Green Growth framework to drive positive environmental impacts for Northern Ireland; and how this will be measured.

I have been working with Executive colleagues to agree a Green Growth Strategy. A draft version of this closed for public consultation on 21 December 2021. As part of this strategy, a Green Growth framework will be developed to understand what work needs to be undertaken and how impact will be measured. My Department will continue to work with officials in other departments to ensure that infrastructure policies and strategies align with targets to be set out in the Green Growth framework, other Executive strategies and any future climate change legislation.
