Committee on Climate Change

The UK Gov Committee on Climate Change (CCC) July 2019 report states

• UK action to curb greenhouse gas emissions is lagging far behind what is needed, even to meet previous, less stringent, emissions targets. Over the past year, the Government has delivered just 1 of 25 critical policies needed to get emissions reductions back on track.
• Meanwhile, action to prepare our homes, businesses and natural environment for a warming world is less ambitious than it was ten years ago. Of 33 key sectors assessed by the Committee, none show good progress when it comes to managing climate change risk.

Note: the CCC and the target of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 were enacted by the Climate Change Act 2008.
