Take action now to save the Climate Act and get clean energy by 2030

Will the Energy Bill support the UK to cut carbon emissions or open the door to a fossil-fuelled 'dash for gas'? In a few weeks (we now expect the vote to be in late April or May) MPs will have the chance to vote on an amendment which would keep the UK within its legally binding climate change targets. The government would have to set  a limit on CO2 emissions from electricity by 2030 in line with the recommendations of the independent Committee on Climate Change.

Why is it important?

With the climate changing, we have no time to lose in putting the brake on our CO2 emissions. This target would give certainty to investors in the UK to start the shift to clean energy. The alternative is to lock in reliance on expensive gas for the UK's energy, smashing our climate targets.
