Northern Ireland urged to set binding carbon targets


The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has urged Northern Ireland's environment minister to set emission reduction targets and establish a set of policies designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 25 per cent by 2020.

The CCC has today published a report, commissioned by Northern Ireland's environment minister, which recommends that the country's executive government enacts its own climate change legislation, including setting legally binding emissions targets.
