The geographic coverage of Final emissions statistics will be changing from UK and Crown Dependencies to UK only from 2016 onwards. This publication provides the final estimates of UK greenhouse gas emissions going back to 1990. Estimates are presented by source in February of each year and are updated in March of each year to include estimates by end-user and fuel type. When emissions are reported by source, emissions are attributed to the sector that emits them directly. When emissions are reported by end-user, emissions by source are reallocated in accordance with where the end-use activity occurred. This reallocation of emissions is based on a modelling process. For example, all the carbon dioxide produced by a power station is allocated to the power station when reporting on a source basis.
However, when applying the end-user method, these emissions are reallocated to the users of this electricity, such as domestic homes or large industrial users. DECC does not estimate embedded emissions however the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs creates estimates annually. The Alternative approaches to reporting UK greenhouse gas emissions report outlines the differences between them. For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high level sectors as follows energy supply, business, transport, public, residential, agriculture, industrial processes, land use land use change and forestry LULUCF, and waste management. These high level sectors are made up of a number of more detailed sectors, which follow the definitions set out by the International Panel on Climate Change IPCC, and which are used in international reporting tables which are submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC every year. A list of corresponding Global Warming Potentials GWPs used and a record of base year emissions are published separately. This is a National Statistics publication and complies with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. Data downloads in csv format are available from the UK Emissions Data Selector.

Documentation Reason for Recalculation: In case of enteric fermentation, specified data on cattle distribution by breeds was used. Nitrogen excretion rate depends on amount of managed manure N available for soil application, i.e. on cattle breed. Table 2.15.4: Category-Specific Documentation of Recalculations (Manure management) Documentation Reason for Recalculation: The specified data on cattle distribution by breeds has been provided by the highly experienced person Mr. Levan Tortladze - Head of the Department of Zootechny of the Agrarian University of Georgia. Emission factor for enteric fermentation significantly depends on cattle breed.
The final energy consumption underwent trends similar to those of the consumption of primary energy sources, namely, in 2000 it was by about 49% lower than in 1990 (Figure 2.13). Starting with 2001, increase in the final energy consumption was observed. In 2015 it was 3.9 Mtoe, and compared with the year 2000 the increase was by about 15%. The greatest changes occurred in the residential sector where energy consumption decreased in that period by about 16% and its share in the final energy consumption decreased by about 12% points and in 2015 was 29%. The other largest share in the final energy consumption was in the transport sector, constituting 29% in 2015 and the increase was by 7% points against 2000. In industry the final energy consumption had grown by 37% in the period 2000-2015 and in 2015 its share was about 20% of the total consumption and the increase was by about 3% points, compared with 2000.

This Plan is a multi-sectoral policy document. It sets out the UK’s 2019–2024 national action plan to tackle AMR within UK and beyond its borders. The five-year national action plan (NAP) builds on the existing efforts and achievements to date to prioritise early actions and establish a secure basis for the step change required to fulfil UK's 20-year vision for AMR.
As part of its May 2022 Cost of living support package, the UK government enacted a doubling of the support allocated to households via the Energy Bills Support Scheme. Households will get an additional GBP 200 of support with their energy bills through an expansion of the Energy Bills Support Scheme.

With the additional measures outlined in the strategy the share of renewable energy in the final consumption is expected to increase to approximately 50 per cent and the self-sufficiency in energy to 55 per cent by 2030. The share of renewable energy use in transport will clearly exceed the Government Programme target. The domestic use of imported oil will be halved as planned. The greatest non-ETS sector reductions in emissions will be achieved in the transport sector, and this is also the foundation of the Medium-term Climate Change Policy Plan of 2017.
The Law on Energy from Renewable Sources adopted also establishes the common promotion system on the enhancement of the use of RES in the transport to increase the share of energy from renewable sources in all modes of transport at least up to 10% as compared with the final energy consumption in the transport sector. In 2017 the Law was amendment to transpose the requirements of the ILUC directive (EU) 2015/1513 and setting the requirements that the share of energy from biofuels produced from cereal and other starch-rich crops, sugars and oil crops and from crops grown as main crops primarily for energy purposes on agricultural land shall be no more than 7% of the final consumption of energy in transport and a reference value for advanced biofuels target at least 0.5% in energy content of the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020.
This roadmap is part of a larger plan to green finance in the UK. It sets out a strategy to deliver on phase 1 of the plan, which is informing investors and consumers – addressing the information gap for market participants, ensuring a flow of decision-useful information on environmental sustainability from corporates to financial market participants. Following phases of the plan will include acting on the information, and shifting financial flows.

This strategy aims at making cycling and walking increasing "natural choices" for short trips and part of longer trips. It also sets short term objectives, details financial resources available, discusses indicators and sets governance arrangements to be put in place in the future. The strategy is due to be updated in July 2020 through a 2 billion pounds package to pursue the following goals (among others): 1) the creation of a national cycling and walking commissioner and inspectorat, 2) higher standards for permanent infrastructure across England, 3) getting GPs to prescribe cycling and exercise, and 4) creating a long-term budget for cycling and walking similar to what happens for roads.&nbsp;
Annex 1: UKs Fifth Biennial Report to the UNFCCC 441 The Net Zero Strategy (published 2021) delivers a comprehensive set of measures to support and capitalise on the UK's transition to net zero by 2050. It sets out how the UK will end its domestic contribution to climate change with an approach where 'green' and 'growth' go hand-in-hand. It is a cross-economy strategy which keeps the UK on the path to net zero, including action the UK will take keep on track to meet Carbon Budgets and the UK's 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution. The UK treats the policies adopted before 2009 as part of a 'baseline', because carbon budget targets were set for the first time in 2009. Figure 5.3 and Table 5.21 show the estimated emissions savings attributable to policies adopted between April 2009 and August 2019, as published in the 2019 UK EEP. For example, in 2030 the UK projects that UK policies (excluding planned policies) will deliver emissions reductions of around 103 MtCO₂e.
Indicative annual ranges U.K. 12 Duty to provide indicative annual ranges for net UK carbon account U.K. (1) As soon as is reasonably practicable after making an order setting the carbon budget for a budgetary period, the Secretary of State must lay before Parliament a report setting out an indicative annual range for the net UK carbon account for each year within the period. (2) An " indicative annual range ", in relation to a year, is a range within which the Secretary of State expects the amount of the net UK carbon account for the year to fall. (3) Before laying a report under this section before Parliament, the Secretary of State must consult the other national authorities on the indicative annual ranges set out in the report. (4) The Secretary of State must send a copy of the report to those authorities.

The UK will end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in the UK by 2030. The end of sales will be conducted in two phases:1) There will be a phase-out date for the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans brought forward to 2030.2) All new cars and vans will need to be fully zero emission at the tailpipe from 2035.Between 2030 and 2035, new cars and vans can be sold if they have the capability to drive a significant distance with zero emissions (for example, plug-in hybrids or full hybrids), and this will be defined through consultation.The move is underpinned by over £1.8 billion to support greater uptake of zero emission vehicles for greener car journeys.The budget includes 1.3 billion GBP to accelerate the roll-out of chargepoints for EV in homes, streets, across the UK and on motorways across England, through grant allocations to support the deployment of rapid chargepoints. 500 million GBP of funding over the next four years through the Automotive Transformation Fund will be used to develop, design and manufacture zero emission vehicles.
Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States Yesterday’s announcement by the Prime Minister has curtailed the International Development Committee’s ability to send representatives to the SIDS conference next week. I am very disappointed about this; the Committee has done a lot of work in this area and the conference was going to be an opportunity to see the steps forward and help move the agenda. Can you provide assurance that, despite the announcement, UK Government Ministers will still be able to give their support to the conference and push stakeholders to make progress to support the SIDS and their requirements. The International Development Committee report The UK Small Island Developing States Strategy[1] set out our recommendations and the Committee was hoping that the conference would have given the opportunity for the Government to take forward our recommendations. If Ministers are not able to travel to the conference, it will be very important still to make the planned announcements and follow through with the planned commitments, and I hope you have been able to revise your plans accordingly. I realise that you will not have time to respond to this letter before Parliament prorogues today, but I felt it was important to get this reminder on the record.

The elaboration of the National Low Carbon Roadmap (RNBC) was determined by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers n.º 93/2010, of November 26th. The objective of the RNBC is to carry out a prospective study of the technical and economic viability of paths to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Portugal, leading to a low-carbon economy by 2050. It also aims to point out possible strategic guidelines for the various sectors of activity, in line with other similar documents, and serve as an element of information and support for the preparation of future national plans to reduce emissions, in particular the National Plan for Climate Change 2020 and the Low Carbon Sectoral Plans. The vision underlying the RNBC is in line with the European Union&#39;s objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% - 95% in 2050, compared to 1990 levels, in order to achieve a transition to a competitive economy and low carbon. It should also be noted that this long-term vision is, in the short and medium term, framed by the energy-climate objectives² adopted in 2009, an integral part of the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Given the time horizon of the analysis, it is necessary to deal with the uncertainty associated with the results. Partly because the modeling is based on assumptions, which include the pace of economic growth, the size and distribution of global efforts to mitigate climate change, geopolitical developments, the evolution of energy prices on the world market and the availability of endogenous resources. Therefore, attention should be paid to trends, technological options and paradigm shifts, more than the absolute values themselves, especially for the period after 2030.
