HOW IS THE ISLE OF MAN TRACKING WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE?
The Annual Progress Report 2025-26 was received by Tynwald in July 2026 and tracks highlights, action-by-action updates and overall sector progress on deliverables within the Isle of Man's current Climate Change Plan. While often associated with emissions targets and net zero, the report highlights climate action is ultimately about delivering practical benefits for our Island – helping to create lower energy bills, greater energy security, healthier communities and a stronger local economy.
The Isle of Man has made some progress towards its climate goals, with emissions down across some key sectors. Alongside examples of progress including completed projects, strategies and assessments, the report sets out the challenges ahead and the continued focus on practical delivery over the remaining period of the programme.
We must continue to support households and communities. At a time when many Islanders remain concerned about the cost of living, few issues are more important than helping people reduce the cost of heating and powering their homes."

OUR COMMITMENTS
Our approach to climate action continues to be guided by engagement with our community, practical evidence and the latest climate science.
Approved by Tynwald in October 2022, the Climate Change Plan 2022-2027, sets out a five-year programme of actions to help create a cleaner, healthier and more resilient Isle of Man.
Alongside interim emissions reduction targets for 2030 and 2035, the Plan focuses on delivering real benefits for the Island, including warmer homes, lower energy bills, greater energy security, stronger communities and a thriving natural environment.
“This programme should not be viewed solely through the lens of carbon reduction. It is also about affordability, resilience, public health, energy security and making the Isle of Man an even better place to live, work and do business.”
– Clare Barber MHK, Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture, July 2026
