MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Climate change has become a central concern in 21st-century economic policy, influencing monetary, fiscal, competition, and social security strategies. This paper examines how the United Kingdom has integrated climate objectives into its policy frameworks, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Bank of England has implemented carbon reduction targets, renewable energy adoption, and climate stress-tests to enhance financial stability. Fiscal policies, including investment in climate adaptation and mitigation, demonstrate proactive planning for both acute and chronic climate-related risks. Competition policy enables climate change agreements that promote sustainable practices while remaining consistent with international standards. Social security measures, including financial support, green job programs, and energy subsidies, safeguard vulnerable populations from climate impacts. The UK’s approach illustrates a holistic model in which economic, environmental, and social policies intersect, advancing resilience, sustainability, and equitable development.
