Policy: UK Climate Change Bill details

UK Climate Change Bill Details released

Plans for the UK Government’s Climate Change Bill include four key elements:

• a long-term commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by 2050, which will be put into statute;
• the establishment of a new independent body – the Carbon Committee – to work with Government to reduce emissions over time and across the economy;
• the creation of new powers to put in place emissions reduction measures; and
• improvements to monitoring and reporting arrangements, including how the Government reports to Parliament.
