The UK has a strong track record of growing our economy whilst reducing our emissions. We were the first major economy to legislate for net zero emissions by 2050 and to set statutory targets in the Climate Change Act 2008. Our net zero commitment was backed up by our increased and world leading pledge (Nationally Determined Contribution) under the Paris Agreement. Our Adaptation Communication to the UNFCCC (2021) and the National Mitigation Communication to the UNFCCC (2022) set out actions we are taking at home to ensure we are following through on our NDC commitments, as well as being resilient and prepared for current and future climate risks. As part of our Powering up Britain plans, we are publishing a new Net Zero Growth Plan and the Energy Security Plan alongside this ICF strategy. These are complemented by the 2023 Green Finance Strategy, and the 2030 Strategic Framework for International Climate and Nature Action. This package of announcements builds on the UK's Net Zero Strategy, Environmental Improvement Plan 2023, support for the Montreal Protocol and our commissioning of and response to the Dasgupta Review on the Economics of Biodiversity, evidencing the UK's commitment to climate leadership following our COP26 Presidency.
