The motion
That this House recognises that the UK should reduce carbon dioxide emissions by at least 80 per cent. in 2050 to reduce the devastating effect of climate change on weather conditions, natural habitats, wildlife, economic resources and human life; notes the estimated cost of meeting carbon budgets in 2020 will be less than one per cent. of gross domestic product; further notes that meeting carbon budgets and building a low-carbon economy also presents the UK with significant economic opportunities; further recognises the Government's commitment to tackling climate change; but urges all political parties to develop the much-needed greener policies to deal with the challenge of climate change.
