In 2021, net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United Kingdom (UK) were 427 million tonnes (Mt) carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), 80% of which was carbon dioxide (CO 2) itself. [ 1] Emissions increased by 5% in 2021 with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, primarily due to the extra road transport. [ 1]
Climate change is having economic impacts on the UK and presents risks to human health and ecosystems. [1] The government has committed to reducing emissions by 50% of 1990 levels by 2025 and to net zero by 2050. [2] [3] In 2020, the UK set a target of 68% reduction in emissions by 2030 in its commitments in the Paris Agreement. [4]
The US, China and Russia have cumulatively contributed the greatest amounts of CO 2 since 1850. [ 3] This is a list of sovereign states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions[ n 1] due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission and Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.

[ 3] This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita carbon dioxide emissions[ n 1] due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission. The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2005 ...
England is also sunnier throughout the year, but unlike Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the sunniest month is July, with an average of 193.5 hours. It rains on fewer days every month throughout the year than the rest of the UK, and rainfall totals are less in every month, with the driest month, May, averaging 58.4 mm (2.30 in). [3]
Residence-based emissions stood at 512 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2022 , according to Office for National Statistics provisional data. Emissions from UK residents and businesses rise Skip ...
