Book Description
The Committee warmly welcome the introduction of the Climate Change Bill and find it heartening that the UK is taking a lead on this issue. The aim of the Bill is to reduce the net UK carbon account by at least 60% from the 1990 baseline by 2050, although this may not be enough; the Government have emphasised that this is a minimum target. However shipping and aviation are excluded from the carbon budgets and this could be a weakness. The Committee have concerns about the legal enforceability of targets and budgets and propose a system of annual milestones and a compliance mechanism. To recognise the importance of the Bill they think that the legal duty should be placed on the Prime Minister rather than then Secretary of State. The draft Bill is the first of what is likely to be a series of measures. In particular the Committee think that adaptation policies need to be addressed, along with the role of local government.

Book Description
This report, entitled "Climate change and local, regional and devolved government", (HCP 225, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215522122) sets out 22 conclusions and recommendations, including: that Central Government has a duty to co-ordinate how different spheres of government interact and integrate in regard of action on climate change; overcoming barriers to progress on climate change is essential and the Government must look at incentives and encouragements it can offer to local, regional and devolved government; all local authorities should be obliged to include climate change indicators in their Local Area Agreements and further, the investrment and development plans for local authorities should consider the need to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change; that local authorities, regional and devolved governments need to be aware of other targets, including biodiversity and energy efficiency; that the Government needs to consider what part carbon impact assessments will play in local, regional and devolved governments and how they can become a central role in decision and policy making.
