CLIMATE CHANGE BILL (No.2)

That this House notes that climate change represents one of the gravest challenges facing the world; therefore welcomes the cross-party recognition of the need for a climate change bill; nevertheless believes that the Climate Change Bill [Lords] requires strengthening in a number of areas in order to be both effective and to provide an appropriate example for other nations to follow; and therefore calls on the Government to bring forward proposals to include aviation emissions in carbon dioxide calculations to increase the target for reducing the UK's carbon dioxide emissions from 60 per cent. to 80 per cent. by 2050, and to make it mandatory for large companies to report on their carbon emissions in the Bill.
