UK Government creates Office of Climate Change
The UK Government has created a new Office of Climate Change (OCC) that will work across Government to provide a shared resource for analysis and development of climate change policy and strategy, Environment Secretary David Miliband said today.
The OCC will support Ministers as they decide future UK strategy and policy on domestic and international climate change by:
- High level management and reporting of progress on existing commitments
Consolidating existing analysis to develop a cross-government consensus on current progress and outstanding issues - Identifying short and medium term goals for particular sectors/ areas and consequent priorities for action
- Carrying out time-limited policy-focussed projects where Ministers agree that this adds value
- Promoting understanding of climate change across government and supporting departments to adapt their policies
