=== Box 13.2 | Climate Change Institutions in the UK ===

<div id="h2-44-siblings" class="h2-siblings"></div>

The central institutional arrangements of climate governance in the UK were established by the 2008 Climate Change Act (CCA): statutory five-year carbon budgets; an independent advisory body, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC); mandatory progress monitoring and reporting to Parliament; and continuous adaptive planning following a five-yearly cycle. The CCC is noteworthy as an innovative institution that has also been emulated by other countries.

The design of the CCC was influenced by the concept of independent central banking ( [[#Helm--2003|Helm et al. 2003]] ). It has established a reputation for independent high quality analysis and information dissemination, is frequently referred to in Parliament and widely used by other actors in policy debates, all of which suggest a high degree of legitimacy ( [[#Averchenkova--2018|Averchenkova et al. 2018]] ). However, since the CCC only recommends rather than sets budgets ( [[#McGregor--2012|McGregor et al. 2012]] ), accountability for meeting the carbon budgets works primarily through reputational and political effects rather than legal enforcement.
