Description

1. Preamble The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) is an independent, statutory body established under the 2008 Climate Change Act. The CCC is tasked with: • Providing independent advice to Government on setting and meeting carbon budgets and preparing for Climate change. • Monitoring progress in reducing emissions and achieving Carbon Budgets.

2. Background In leaving the EU, the UK is expected to leave the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Policy mechanisms to replace the price signal currently provided by the EU ETS are under consideration. The UK Government has launched a consultation on a national carbon trading scheme (a UK ETS).

Under the terms of the Climate Change Act (2008), if the UK Government wishes to make provision for a trading scheme then it is required to:

• Obtain the advice of the Committee on Climate Change (Section 48(1)(a); • Before setting a limit on the total amount of activities to which a trading scheme applies for a trading period or periods, obtain Committee on Climate Change advice on the amount of that limit (Section 48(2)).

The Governments of the UK, Scotland and Wales have requested advice from the CCC on the establishment of a UK scheme.

The CCC wishes to obtain consultancy support to work closely with its secretariat to inform this advice. We are looking for a person (or persons) to work in and with the team, rather than an externally delivered report.
