The government is due to announce its climate change bill, aiming to cut Britain's carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by the year 2050.

Ministers say the law gives the UK the world's first legal framework for transition to a low-carbon economy.

Environment Secretary David Miliband has rejected opposition calls for annual targets on reducing emissions.

Chancellor Gordon Brown has said the bill would mean chancellors would "manage our carbon budgets with the same prudence and discipline" as economic budgets.

Carbon budgets, expected to be every five years, will be set following advice from an independent committee on climate change.

Government will also have to report annually to Parliament on its progress in controlling emissions - which Mr Brown described as "a wholly new way of managing the UK's climate change effort, sustained by proper public accountability".
