The UK was the first major economy to legislate to end its contribution to global warming by 2050. The Climate Change Committee stated that this is in line with the Paris Agreement temperature goal. Given the UK's leading development of global low carbon technologies, the impact of the UK's actions reach beyond its own emissions.
