The Climate Change Act of 2008 established a legally binding target of reducing the UK's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050 and by 34% by 2020. The FCO must meet these commitments. Read our Carbon Reduction Delivery Plan, Climate Change Adaptation Plan and Sustainable Development Action Plan.
This Carbon Reduction Delivery Plan sets out the approach that the FCO will take to its first three Carbon Budgets in the period 2008 to 2022.
In addition to our work on mitigating climate change, we recognise we also need to focus on adapting to it. Our plan explains our approach to adaption.
