May introduces new law; UK aims for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

2019-07-22

British Prime Minister Theresa May, hoping to leave a legacy before stepping down, is pushing for legislative changes to reach a net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050, making the UK the first major economy to do so. May introduced an amendment to the Climate Change Act in Parliament on the 12th, which would make the UK the first Group of Seven (G7) country to enshrine net-zero carbon emissions in law. Environmental groups welcomed May's plan but expressed disappointment that it would allow the UK to meet the target through an international carbon credit mechanism. Under this mechanism, countries that exceed their targets can purchase carbon credits from other countries. Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond stated that achieving the target would cost an estimated £1 trillion and could result in cuts to public service budgets. Downing Street denied Hammond's claims last week. The 2050 net-zero emissions target will be incorporated into the amendment as a statutory instrument, meaning it does not require a vote by MPs. France introduced a net-zero emissions bill this year, while other smaller countries like Finland have set a target of 2035, and Norway 2030. The UK Climate Change Commission recommends a target of 2050. However, Theresa May rejected the Commission's recommendations regarding international carbon credits, and Commission Chairman John Gummer stated last month that not using international carbon credits is "crucial."Source: United Daily News (June 15, 2019)
