Environmental Targets (Public Authorities) Bill [HL]

This bill requires UK public authorities (such as councils, NHS trusts, and government departments) to set and meet specific environmental targets aligned with the UK's climate and nature commitments. It creates a legal duty for these organisations to reduce their environmental impact, report progress transparently, and be held accountable if they fail to meet targets. The bill strengthens existing environmental legislation by making public sector organisations directly responsible for contributing to national environmental goals rather than relying on voluntary measures.
