In the UK, the Climate Change Act 2008 forming the legislative basis for carbon reduction targets, with a legally binding target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100%, or net zero, from 1990 levels by 2050 climate change and sustainability is becoming an increasingly important part of the government focus. UK targets and plans fit into wider international developments in this area with key frameworks such as the Paris Agreement, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, the EU Green Deal and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN has named 2020-2030 as the Decade of Action, calling for an acceleration to sustainable solutions for the world's biggest challenges—ranging from poverty and gender to climate change, inequality and closing the finance gap.
