What our draft package of advice covered:

• the proposed first three emissions budgets and guidance on the first emissions reduction plan, advising the Government on how the emissions budgets could be met
   
• whether our first Nationally Determined Contribution is compatible with  contributing to the global efforts  to limit warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels

After considering all the feedback and making appropriate changes to our material, we will present our final advice to the Government in May 2021. The Government then has until 31 December 2021 to respond.
