The Committee on Climate Change
- Date 4 September 2025
- Sector Central government, Other
- Decision(s) EIR 11(4): Upheld, EIR 12(4)(a): Not upheld, EIR 14(2): Upheld
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Climate Change Committee (CCC) doesn’t hold certain information about emissions that the complainant has requested and that regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR is engaged in that respect (information not held). However, the CCC didn’t comply with regulation 14(2) as it didn’t refuse these elements of the request under that exception within the required timescale. The timeliness of the CCC’s internal review response also didn’t comply with regulation 11(4). The Commissioner doesn’t require further steps.
