Climate Change Committee

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is an independent statutory body established under the Climate Change Act of 2008, dedicated to advising the UK and devolved governments on greenhouse gas emissions targets. The CCC plays a crucial role in assessing progress on climate action, focusing on both mitigation strategies and adaptation to climate change impacts. Comprised of experts from diverse fields, including climate science, energy research, and sustainable finance, the CCC provides analytical support through its Secretariat, ensuring informed decision-making across various sectors.

The organization emphasizes transparency, diversity, and inclusion within its governance, aiming to foster a constructive culture while fulfilling its statutory obligations. Its strategic objectives and priorities are outlined in the Corporate Business Plan for 2023-2026. The CCC also coordinates closely with international initiatives and contributes to significant global climate dialogues, such as the Race To Zero and Race To Resilience campaigns. Through its efforts, the CCC aims to guide effective action on climate change and support a sustainable future for the UK and beyond.
