About this data
- Territorial emissions: greenhouse gases emitted within the UK, net of removals by forests and soils. Emissions from international aviation and shipping aren't included, as under international reporting rules.
- Gases are combined in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), weighting each by how much it warms the climate over 100 years compared with CO2.
- Figures for 2025 are provisional. For agriculture, waste and land use, they are largely based on projections.
- Under the Paris Agreement, the UK has committed to cut emissions by at least 68% from the base year (1990 for most gases, 1995 for F-gases) by 2030, and by at least 81% by 2035. The 2030 target, in million tonnes, is DESNZ's figure for the emissions covered by that commitment (which also include the Crown Dependencies). The Climate Change Act commits the UK to net zero by 2050.
