The UK releases its first annual carbon emissions report under its carbon budget regime.

  • 2010-05-18

On the 18th, the British government released its first carbon emissions report under the carbon budget regime. The report stated that the UK's net greenhouse gas emissions in 2008 were equivalent to approximately 600 million tons of carbon dioxide, and that the carbon budget targets are being steadily achieved.

        The report states that the UK's greenhouse gas emissions in 2008 were equivalent to 626 million tons of carbon dioxide. After deducting the 19.3 million tons of carbon dioxide purchased through the carbon trading system, the UK's net greenhouse gas emissions that year were equivalent to 606.7 million tons of carbon dioxide.

        Joan Ruddock, the UK's Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change, said the figure is equivalent to a 22% reduction in carbon emissions since 1990, demonstrating the effectiveness of the UK's climate change policies. She added that the UK is steadily achieving its carbon budget and that the government will continue to promote the country's low-carbon transition by supporting clean energy and other means.

        The UK government’s Climate Change Act of 2008 set up a carbon budget for five years starting that year and stipulated that the government should report to Parliament annually on the implementation of the carbon budget. This report is the first annual carbon emissions report since the implementation of the carbon budget system.

        Under the Climate Change Act, the UK is required to reduce emissions by 34% from 1990 levels by 2020 and by 80% by 2050. According to scientific estimates from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), developed countries should achieve emissions reductions of 25% to 40% by 2020 to avoid dangerous levels of global warming, while developing countries are demanding at least a 40% reduction in carbon emissions from developed countries.
