Summary

The book sets out the Government's and the devolved administrations' strategy for tackling climate change. It explains why the climate is changing and what its effects might be; how the international community has responded, with agreement to the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol; the leading role the UK has played internationally and in Europe; how the Government and the devolved administrations (Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) plan to deliver the UK's legally binding target under the Kyoto Protocol of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 12.5% below 1990 levels by 2008-2012 and move towards the domestic goal of a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions below 1990 levels by 2010; what action the UK might need to take to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate.
