Thank you, Eóin. The journey to net zero is the defining challenge of our generation. It is important to listen to the views of young people. The Department has reached out to young people in our local schools to ask them for their views. The feedback from children and young people has been excellent, with participants offering highly insightful and detailed contributions. As a local MLA, I have met a lot of eco-committees in schools, and I find their insights into the issue and their understanding of it to be really impressive. It is important that we listen to young people. That is what we are doing as a Department, and I am proud of that.
