The Climate Change Act sets our commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050 in law. The UK has halved its emissions, having cut them by around 53% between 1990 and 2023.
As my Rt hon Friend the Prime Minister announced on 12th November, the UK has pledged to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by at least 81% on 1990 levels by 2035, excluding international aviation and shipping.
