Climate Change Act 2008 (UK)

The Climate Change Act 2008 is a law in the UK that commits the government to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat climate change. It sets legally binding targets to cut emissions by at least 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels, with interim goals along the way. The Act requires regular plans and reports to track progress and ensure policies support the goals, fostering accountability and strategic action across sectors like energy, transportation, and industry to create a more sustainable future.
