UK: Outgoing prime minister Theresa May confirmed that the UK will legislate a new climate target, committing the country to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The ruling makes Britain the first member of the G7 group to commit to zero net emissions. The statutory instrument to implement the target is being laid in parliament on Wednesday and will amend the Climate Change Act 2008, under which the UK committed to reduce emissions by 80% by 2050. The UK will retain the ability to use international carbon credits.
