Targets For 2020 In The Climate Change Act 2008

EDM number 868 in 2008-09, proposed by Nigel Griffiths on 24/02/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Climate change.

That this House welcomes the Climate Change Act 2008 as the world's first example of a government adopting a legally binding target based on the scientific evidence of the scale of greenhouse gas emissions reductions required to avoid dangerous climate change; welcomes the Committee on Climate Change's advice for an intended 42 per cent. 2020 target; believes adopting this target now would show continued international leadership on climate change legislation; and calls on the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change to adopt an immediate target to cut greenhouse gas emissions within the UK by 42 per cent. by 2020.

This motion has been signed by a total of 189 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
