This report seeks Select Committee approval of the approach set out in the updated Greener Futures Finance Strategy which includes a framework, investment principles and governance to support the delivery of our net-zero 2030 and 2050 targets. The 2030 net zero finance approach has been well developed and is underpinned by a Finance Model.
