Text

Thank you, Minister, for the update on the nature-based solutions and the role that they will play in the third climate change adaptation programme. I should declare an interest: I am a member of the Ards peninsula coastal erosion group, and I have been out at Anne's Point, Mount Stewart, where people can see how nature-based solutions are solving some problems of flooding. You mentioned that the climate change adaptation programme sets out the requirement for a lead Department. Will you provide the next steps in designating the lead Department that will oversee coastal management?
