It was launched today, 28 October, by the UKs Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance on the RRS Sir David Attenborough which is anchored on the Thames from 28-30 October. The ship will transform how ship-borne science is conducted in the polar regions and provide scientists with state-of-the-art facilities to research the oceans, seafloor, ice and atmosphere. Speaking at the statement launch, UK Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance said
Science is not just necessary to diagnose the state of the planet - it is also needed to understand how to treat it. Through research, we can accelerate the technological, social and economic change needed to reach net zero. Professor Nicole Grobert, Chair of the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors to the European Commission, said
Reaching carbon neutrality requires innovation, low-emission choices and active participation. Science provides solutions for improving quality of life through a fair and sustainable decarbonisation of our societies. Dr Xavier Estico, Director General, Division of Science Technology and Innovation, Seychelles Ministry of Investment, Entrepreneurship and Industry, said
History has taught us that science, technology and innovation at their best helped to bring timely solutions to challenges that seemed beyond the reach of humankind. With the lessons learned, we should all collaborate in adopting the same spirit, philosophy and attitude in combating the greatest challenge of our time Climate Change.
These Regulations supplement provisions in Acts for fixed penalties payable in respect of offences relating to the environment. The Regulations prescribe the ranges within which the amounts of certain fixed penalties that are capable of being specified by a local authority are required to fall. They amend the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to England to increase the amount of the penalties for littering, free distribution of printed matter on designated land and graffiti and fly-posting where a local authority does not specify an amount.

The United Kingdom's LTS refers to its 2050 net zero target enshrined in law since 2019. The strategy is structured around 4 key principles:
1. To work with the grain of consumer choice: no one will be required to rip out their existing boiler or scrap their current car
2. To ensure the biggest polluters pay the most for the transition through fair carbon pricing
3. To ensure that the most vulnerable are protected through Government supportin the form of energy bill discounts, energy efficiency upgrades, and more
4. To work with businesses to continue delivering deep cost reductions in low carbon tech through support for the latest state of the art kit to bring down costs for consumers and deliver benefits for businesses.

As an emitter of greenhouse gases, Switzerland has an obligation. As a mountainous country, which is heavily exposed to natural hazards, it is one of the major beneficiaries of a successful climate policy. As a financial and technological centre, it can contribute its expertise at the international level. Doing nothing is therefore not an option. That would be much more expensive for us than resolute action. Christine Hofmann Deputy Director Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) The Paris Agreement - leading to a stable climate
Fulcrum BioEnergy has announced plans to develop its first UK residual waste to low carbon SAF plant. The 'Fulcrum NorthPoint' biorefinery will be located at the Essar Oil (UK) Limited refinery at Stanlow, Ellesmere Port in the North West of England. secure fuel supplies are maintained during the transition to net zero.

All purely electric cars, vans and other vehicles are currently Congestion Charge-exempt, because they have zero tailpipe emissions. This means if you purchase a fully electric vehicle, you won’t have to pay the London Congestion Charge. Examples of fully electric cars are the Renault ZOE, Nissan Leaf and Volkswagen e-Golf. Plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) are also Congestion Charge exempt, as none currently on sale exceeds the 75g/km limit. So the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Kia Niro PHEV are all exempt from the charge as well. Larger wheels increase tailpipe emissions, and individual options and trim levels are taken into account when working out Congestion Charge exemption. In some cases, these could push a PHEV over the limit. Hybrid cars aren't automatically Congestion Charge exempt. It depends on the model and trim level in question.
Our projections present a range of possible outcomes, but all show significant reductions to 2050. Ultimately, this depends on how quickly zero emission technologies, fuels and efficiency measures are deployed, as well as the impacts of our policies to increase the numbers of journeys made by cycling and walking and on public transport. There are uncertainties on future travel behaviour from changes in how we work and travel, increased connectivity, better technology, and COVID-19. Part 1: Our path to net zero transport *Historic emissions are from published Her Majesty's Government (HMG) GHG statistics. Our projections are produced using a range of models, including the National Transport Model (road transport), and Traction Decarbonisation Network Strategy (rail. and Aviation model, adjusted for decarbonising transport measures. The shipping baseline and projections are based on the latest analysis by the CCC (https://www.thecoc.org.uk/publication/sixth-carbon-budget/), which drew on research commissioned by DFT. Given the emerging nature of zero emission shipping fuels, the projections should be interpreted as possible scenarios for meeting the net zero goal that the government has announced for the UK maritime sector rather than estimates of the impact of specific policies. Baseline forecasts are not consistent with the 2019 BEIS Energy and Emission Projections (EEP), as these use different methodologies. Where feasible, uncertainty in projections reflects uncertainty on policy design, GDP, fuel prices, trip rates, and historic volatility in emissions. The range in the policy line declines as we move out to 2050, due to a higher proportion of zero emission vehicles. Transport emission projections exclude military aircraft and shipping.

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) replaced the T-Charge on 8 April 2019. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year (except Christmas Day), within the same area as the Congestion Charge zone. Most vehicles, including cars and vans, need to meet the ULEZ emissions standards or their drivers must pay a daily charge to drive within the zone. As of January 2020, the fees are: £12.50 for most vehicle types, including cars, motorcycles and vans (up to and including 3.5 tonnes); £100 for heavier vehicles, including lorries (over 3.5 tonnes) and buses/coaches (over 5 tonnes).

In August 2020, the Government of Wales announced a new £9.5 million programme to reduce the carbon footprint of existing social housing in Wales, make energy bills more manageable for residents and provide new job and training opportunities. The Optimised Retrofit Programme will support the piloting of innovative new solutions for retrofitting Wales' housing stock in up to 1000 existing homes owned by registered social housing landlords and councils. The technologies and skills deployed through this programme are intended to support the decarbonisation of homes by reducing carbon emissions from around 300,000 social and fuel poor homes across Wales.
The UK has been among the most successful countries in the developed world in growing its economy while reducing emissions. Since 1990, the UK Government has cut emissions by 42 per cent' while our economy has grown by two thirds². This means that we have reduced emissions faster than any other G7 nation, while leading the G7 group of countries in growth in national income over this period³. This progress has meant that the UK has outperformed the target emissions reductions of its domestically set first carbon budget (2008 to 2012) by one per cent and projects that it will outperform against our second and third budgets, covering the years 2013 to 2022, by about four per cent and six per cent respectively. In doing so, we also expect to over-achieve our international commitments under the Kyoto Protocol. The UK economy is expected to grow by 12 per cent over that time, representing a significant achievement. The UK has made progress across every sector of our economy. This progress has been aided by the falling costs of many low carbon technologies, resulting in new high value jobs, industries and companies. This progress has altered the way that we see many of the trade-offs between investing in low carbon technologies that help secure our future but that might incur costs today. It is clear that actions to cut emissions can be a win-win: cutting consumer bills, driving economic growth, creating high value jobs and helping to improve quality of life.

Non ETS sector: Italy is committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in the non ETS sector of 13% by 2020 with respect to 2005 level under "Decision n. 406/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23th April 2009 on the effort of Member States to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to meet the Community's greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments up to 2020", the so-called "Effort Sharing Decision" (ESD). On the 20th July 2016 the European Commission presented an Effort Sharing Regulation, as a follow-up of the previous EU Effort Sharing Decision (ESD): under the ESR proposal Italy is assigned a 33% emission reduction target in non-ETS sectors to be achieved by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The legislative act is now in the last phase of negotiation between the EU institutions. The emissions from LULUCF sector are excluded from the accounting.

2.115 UK industry was responsible for 131.6 MtCO e of emissions in 2009, accounting for 23% of the UK's total emissions.5² Over 80% of these emissions originate from generating the heat that is needed for industrial processes such as manufacturing steel and ceramics, and the remainder from chemical reactions involved in processes such as cement production. 2.119 Decarbonising the UK economy could require a reduction in overall industry emissions of up to 70% by 2050. Achieving this while maintaining competitive growth in the sector could entail the following. 2.116 Between 1990 and 2009, end user emissions from industry have reduced by III MtCO2e. While the UK industrial sector has grown by an average of 1% a year over the last 40 years, the sector's emissions have fallen by 46% since 1990. Embracing cost effective, energy efficiency measures, as well as sectoral readjustments towards higher-value products, has helped to drive this lower carbon growth. The energy intensity of UK industry has fallen on average by 2.7% a year since 1970. Since 1990 this average has declined to 1.3% a year.53
The Paris Agreement’s central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. To reach these ambitious goals, appropriate financial flows, a new technology framework and an enhanced capacity building framework will be put in place, thus supporting action by developing countries and the most vulnerable countries, in line with their own national objectives. The Agreement also provides for enhanced transparency of action and support through a more robust transparency framework. (Source: http://unfccc.int/paris_agreement/items/9485.php)
In December 2020 the UK Secretary for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy issued an Energy White Paper entitled "Powering our Net Zero Future". The aim of the White Paper is to transform energy, support a green recovery from the COVID19 crisis and create a fair deal for consumers. The government estimates that the measures set out in the White Paper could reduce emissions across power, industry and buildings by up to 230MtCO2e in the period to 2032, as well as creating thousands of jobs. Among the measures proposed, the paper includes further detail on previous policies regarding a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, financial support for an extra 40 gigawatts (40GW) of new offshore wind, and £3bn in funding for home energy improvements.
The paper also envisages experimentation with a number of other mechanisms to keep energy affordable for consumers. One of the key elements of the paper is the provision of details on the establishment of theUK Emissions Trading Scheme, which will include a cap on emissions that is 5% lower than under the previous EU Emissions Trading Scheme and will be lowered further over time to ensure a net zero trajectory.&nbsp; The paper also sets out Government plans for nuclear energy, including the intention to create a commercially viable nuclear fusion plant by 2040. Additional funding is also intended to be made available for the development of new carbon capture and storage technologies.

The objective of reducing the intensity of greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutants is, compared to 2010, at least 10% in 2020 and at least 20% in 2025. Gas intensity greenhouse effect is the ratio between the volume of emissions of these gases and the number of traffic units on the platform concerned in the same year. The reduction target applies to all of the aerodromes mentioned in the first paragraph of this I. II. - Land and air vehicles used for operational defence, security, intervention, fire and rescue missions are not affected by these action programs.
F. The mobility challenge Germany's electric mobility strategy will be consist- ently pursued in line with the joint statement by industry and the German government of 3 May 2010. Our aim is to have a million electric vehicles on the roads by 2020 and six million by 2030. Over the long term and with corresponding tech- nological innovations, electric vehicles will store electricity and thereby help to balance supply and demand, for example by being charged during periods of strong wind.
