A Bill to require the United Kingdom to achieve climate and nature targets; to give the Secretary of State a duty to implement a strategy to achieve those targets; to establish a Climate and Nature Assembly to advise the Secretary of State in creating that strategy; to give duties to the Committee on Climate Change and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee regarding the strategy and targets; and for connected purposes.
The Climate and Nature Bill would set legally binding targets for the UK on climate and nature and require the government to draw up and carry out a strategy to meet those targets. It would also create a Climate and Nature Assembly to advise on the strategy, and give duties to the main climate and nature bodies to help set targets and support implementation.
The bill is currently at its Second Reading in the House of Commons; after debate at this stage it will move to the next stage, the committee stage, for detailed scrutiny.
