Pension Schemes Climate Reporting and Governance

DWP is implementing climate reporting and governance requirements for pension schemes under the Pension Schemes Act 2021, requiring trustees to disclose climate-related risks and align investments with net zero. The policy addresses member expectations and historic communications regarding climate considerations in pension fund management. Implementation is ongoing with guidance and regulatory clarification in development.
