Environment

Climate Change UK

How is the UK Government adapting to the challenges posed by the threat of climate change? And what are UK institutions and citizens doing to achieve climate security around the world?

Sustainable Development

Sustainable development - "development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" - plays a part in most aspects of modern UK life.

Renewable Energy

Using renewable energy is an integral part of the UK Government's long-term aim of reducing CO2 emissions. The current target is a 60 per cent reduction by 2050.

Working With Industry

Most large companies in the UK and worldwide take responsibility for the environmental impact of their operations.

Global Partners

The UK works with a number of key global institutions to raise the profile of environmental issues - especially climate change and sustainable development.
