Our role

The Committee on Climate Change (the CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the Climate Change Act 2008.

Their purpose is to advise the UK Government and Devolved Administrations on emissions targets and report to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for climate change.

Their publications are mostly aimed at specialised areas such as land use, but their blogs are of more relevant to the general public.

Strategic priorities

In fulfilling this role the CCC’s focus is to:

• Provide independent advice on setting and meeting carbon budgets and preparing for climate change
• Monitor progress in reducing emissions and achieving carbon budgets and targets
• Conduct independent analysis into climate change science, economics and policy
• Engage with a wide range of organisations and individuals to share evidence and analysis
