Environment committee  That is correct.

Environment committee  Thank you for the question. This question actually pertains to whether the bill should include, on an annual basis, the issuance of an assessment report. The importance of this would be, as Mr. Albas indicated, that due to the collection and the provision of data from Statistics

Environment committee  If I may, it would be similar to the milestone target of a specific level of emissions.

Environment committee  The final numbers, looking back, will appear likely in 2028. Every year, the government would release a report on the projections, so that with the annual release of the projections, we would have a very good idea of how far or how close we are hitting the targets.

Environment committee  That is correct. On top of that, we have to be mindful that for every year on top of the progress report, there are three different reports that the government will be issuing in compliance with UNFCCC reporting requirements on an annual basis that would take stock in terms of

Environment committee  The question regarding the timeliness of the release of the report goes to how long the consultation would be. It is likely that a consultation would take more than a year. Therefore, the report could be released before the consultation was completed. There is another scenario in

Environment committee  I agree with you.

Environment committee  In terms of the public engagement, if it is conducted by the advisory body, they will be including that information on an annual basis.
