Committee On Climate Change
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) is an independent, statutory body based in Great Britain, dedicated to advising the UK government on climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Established in 2008, the CCC plays a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s climate policies, ensuring that the UK meets its legally binding carbon reduction targets. Operating primarily across the UK, the CCC focuses on critical areas such as emissions reduction, climate resilience, and sustainable development. Its unique position allows it to provide evidence-based recommendations that influence government action and public awareness. Notable achievements include the establishment of the UK's first legally binding carbon budgets, which have positioned the CCC as a leader in climate governance. Through its comprehensive reports and assessments, the CCC continues to drive the conversation on climate action, making significant contributions to the global climate agenda.

Committee On Climate Change's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, the Committee On Climate Change reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,055,600,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 449,600,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 60,000,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 455,000,000,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from purchased goods and services (approximately 210,000,000,000 kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (about 55,000,000,000 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 105,000,000,000 kg CO2e). Despite these figures, the Committee has not specified any formal reduction targets or initiatives in their recent reports. Their climate commitments remain vague, with no documented reduction targets or pledges outlined. The focus appears to be on monitoring and reporting emissions rather than implementing specific reduction strategies.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Committee On Climate Change is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
