Climate action: Make the pledge!
In December, world leaders are meeting in Copenhagen for a major summit on climate change. In this video, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Miliband discusses the impact of global warming and the government’s five point plan for climate action.
The 2008 Climate Change Act made Britain the first country in the world to set legally binding carbon budgets, aiming to cut UK emissions by least 80% by 2050.
Last month, the government unveiled its energy white paper, which outlined the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy through investment in energy efficiency and clean energy technologies such as renewables, nuclear and carbon capture and storage.
