The draft Climate Change Bill introduced by Environment Secretary David Miliband calls for an independent panel to set a โ€œcarbon budgetโ€ every five years. Opposition parties welcomed the proposals, but said carbon budgets should be setย annually.

Miliband, who hailed the move as โ€œthe first of its kind in any country,โ€ said annual targets would be too rigid to make allowances for climateย variations.

The draft legislation will go to public and parliamentary consultation before becoming law next year, but environmental campaigners want to raise the 2050 target to 80% and set annual 3% cut targets to ensureย compliance.
