<p>In June 2019, the UK government set a legally binding target to achieve net zero
greenhouse gas emissions from across the UK economy by 2050. We are the first major
economy in the world to legislate for a net zero target, which will end the UK’s contribution
to climate change. 2020 will be a vital Year of Climate Action across the UK, and
we will be setting out ambitious plans in the run-up to COP26 to deliver on our world-leading
net zero ambition.</p><p>Following our departure from the EU, the UK will be bringing
forward its own, increased NDC well ahead of COP26. The UK NDC will be built on the
foundations of well-established UK analysis and policy development for domestic climate
change mitigation, used to set the UK’s fifth carbon budget (2028-32) and described
in the Clean Growth Strategy. In its Net Zero advice, the Committee on Climate Change
was clear that the Clean Growth Strategy continues to offer the right framework for
the ambitious action needed to deliver net zero.</p>
