The Climate Change (Emissions Targets) Bill would change the law to require the UK to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. It also requires international aviation and shipping to be included when calculating the UK's emissions, so those activities count towards the target.
The bill is currently at the 2nd Reading in the House of Commons, having had its 1st Reading in June 2019.
