About this data

Source: DESNZ, UK local authority and regional greenhouse gas emissions statistics: 2005 to 2024

• Local estimates cover about 90% of UK emissions: they leave out aviation, shipping and military transport, which can't be allocated to an area, and F-gases.
• Emissions from electricity are counted where it is used, not where it is generated. Large industrial sites (such as steelworks) and peatland can make a single area's emissions per person very high.
• The national and UK figures here are the sums of their local authorities, so they leave out the same emissions and differ from the national inventories.
• Local authorities as they were in 2024.
