All the devolved administrations and institutions work together to fight global warming.

The Scottish Executive works in close partnership with the UK Government, which is still responsible for key related policies such as taxation and contributing to EU climate change policy.

A Scottish climate change bill, - separate from the UK bill - which will set mandatory targets for emissions reductions, is likely to be introduced in the Scottish Parliament towards the end of 2008.

The Welsh Assembly Government has already taken a number of steps across all policy areas. It published its Environment Strategy in May 2006, while a new document, One Wales: A Progressive Agenda for the Government of Wales, outlines the new government's aims on climate change.

The Northern Ireland Department of the Environment takes a lead on climate change issues through its Climate Change Unit. It works closely with DEFRA in England, and the devolved Scottish and Welsh administrations.
