Draft Climate Change Bill – June 2007
This consultation invited comments on a set of proposals and measures to create a coherent framework that the Government believe will ensure the nation achieves reductions in emissions whilst maintaining a strong and growing economy and high levels of social welfare.
The Draft Climate Change Bill:
- makes challenging carbon dioxide reductions targets for 2020 and 2050 legally binding;
- introduces a system of ‘carbon budgeting’, capping emissions over five-year periods – with three budgets set ahead to help businesses plan and invest with increased confidence;
- creates a new independent body to advise on the setting of carbon budgets and to report on progress;
- contains enabling powers to make future policies to control emissions quicker and easier to introduce; and
- introduces a new system of Government reporting to Parliament including on climate change adaptation policies.
