UK halves emissions since 1990
The UK is the first major economy to halve its emissions, having cut them by 50% between 1990 and 2022, while also growing its economy by 79%.
New official statistics released today from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero found this compares to a 23% reduction in France and no change in the USA between 1990 and 2021.
With renewables now accounting for more than 40% of the country’s electricity – up from just 7% in 2010, this shows the UK is leading the way on cleaner energy, DESNZ stated.
