Fourth Carbon Budget in easy reach, but biggest challenge is yet to come
New statistics released by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) have confirmed that UK emissions have been halved from 1990 to 2022.
The Association for Decentralised Energy’s (ADE) Senior Policy Manager, Chris Friedler, comments:
"Today’s figures are a major good news story for our nation and the world, and the UK can be proud of its role in leading the charge in the fight against climate change. It also brings the Fourth Carbon Budget target for 2025 into easy reach, a policy that little over a decade ago was considered radical, proving ambition and vision can pay off.
"However, the biggest challenge is yet to come, with some of the slower decarbonising sectors now needing more attention, and critically, realistically ambitious policies. At the halfway point, the UK must stay the course."
