UK Climate Legislation is a Model
Since the dawn of the industrial era, which we are led to believe was 1750, we have had a seemingly never ending thirst for energy and products produced through the use of fossil fuels. Over the centuries we were not aware of the damage that we were causing and it has been only in relatively recent times that we have come to terms with the significant and threatening effects that we have caused to our environment.
The principal emitters of dangerous greenhouse gases have been identified under the new UK climate legislation which aims to take on the problem of climate change head on. These entities must take significant steps to reduce the large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions or face financial penalties appropriately.
It would be nice to think that we are all able to take responsibility for our actions and change accordingly. We could see that excess consumption has far-reaching consequences and do something about it for the good of future generations. However, corporations are always driven ultimately by profits, even though many are making considerable attempts to embrace environmental issues. Politicians have introduced UK climate legislation to ensure that these thoughts are turned into actions.
Ultimately, the success or failure of a company is dictated by powerful market forces. This has not really had an effect on carbon emissions to this point, but UK climate legislation changes all of that. Companies now face a cap on the amount of emissions that they are responsible for before penalties are imposed.
By introducing a value for carbon and creating a commodity accordingly, UK climate legislation will over the course of time have a significant effect on the amount of carbon that an organization may purchase. As such, efficiencies must be achieved to ensure that an enterprise does not rely so much upon fossil fuels and engages other economies to cut down on its carbon bill.
If we look into the future, it seems clear that a majority of forward thinking countries will adopt some kind of cap and trade scheme as the consequences of inaction are becoming increasingly and more vividly obvious to us on a daily basis.
UK climate legislation is among the first to specify mandatory participation by major organizations within its borders, even though considerable opposition pointed to trading barriers and obstacles and the creation of additional difficulties within the global or international trading arena.
The new administration of the United States is watching the UK climate legislation with a very keen interest and has indicated that it supports the concept. Many other interested parties will be watching the Carbon Reduction Commitment, the child of the British Climate Change Act of 2008 to see how it unfolds.
