The just transition principle is something that I hold dearly. It runs through the Climate Change Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, and it is important that we implement the principle. The Just Transition Commission is being established. It has been set up in law, and the public appointments process is under way. We are in the second year of the just transition fund for agriculture and will consult on the regulations associated with it. We were successful in getting funding for it last year and this year, and I encourage people to respond to the consultation on the principles associated with the fund when it launches very soon. I thank Nigel Topping, the chair of the CCC, for being in Northern Ireland yesterday and today. There was constructive engagement, and it was inspirational to see the benefits that we can grasp from climate action.
