| Synopsis: |
This document sets out the Government's response to the public consultation on the 'Draft Climate Change Bill (Cm. 7040)' (ISBN 010170402X) and to the reports of the following Parliamentary Committees during session 2006-07: Joint Committee on the Draft Climate Change Bill: 'Draft Climate Change Bill (HL 170-I/HC 542-I)' - ISBN 0104011378; Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee: 'Draft Climate Change Bill (HC 534-I)' - ISBN 0215034899; and Environmental Audit Committee: 'Beyond Stern: From the Climate Change Programme Review to the Draft Climate Change Bill (HC 460)' - ISBN 0215035569.The Climate Change Bill seeks to introduce a clear, credible and long-term framework to support emissions reductions in the UK, designed to maximise the social and economic benefits and minimise costs. The Bill also sets out an international precedent, reinforcing the UK's position as a consistent leader in the field of climate change and energy policy. This document explains the main changes the Government intends to make to the Bill, taking into account the consultation responses and the recommendations of the three Parliamentary Committees.The key elements of the Bill include: putting into statute the UK's domestic targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through domestic and international action by at least 60 per cent by 2050, and 26 to 32 per cent by 2020, against a 1990 baseline; secondary legislation to set binding limits known as carbon budgets on aggregate carbon dioxide emissions over five year periods; and the creation of a new independent body, the Committee on Climate Change, to advise on setting carbon budgets. |
