Face of Nation : UK to become first G7 nation to make zero net emissions law to make the country a net zero greenhouse gas producer.
This would mean any emissions produced by the UK after 2050 would be offset by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere.
The outgoing prime minister is to announce a legally binding agreement on Wednesday to put the UK on the path to end its contribution to climate change in just over 30 years.
The move, which will amend the Climate Change Act 2008, will improve public health, air quality and biodiversity.
It will mean the UK is set to become the first G7 country to legislate for net zero emissions.
