More details
People living in poverty will be amongst those most affected by climate change. They have done the least to cause the problem, but will suffer the harshest effects and have fewest resources to adapt.
CAFOD is calling for MPs to vote for three key changes to make the Bill stronger and more effective.
* Reduce carbon emissions by at least 80 per cent by 2050
* Setting annual milestones for carbon reduction
* Include the UK’s share of international aviation and shipping
