The government announced a ten-point plan to reach zero carbon emissions by 2050. What are Britain’s carbon emissions?
— According to the basis used for the Climate Change Act (which is done on a ‘territorial’ basis, including carbon emitted physically in Britain but excluding emissions embedded in imported goods), UK emissions in 2016 were 460m tonnes, a 40% fall compared with 1990.
— If you include international air travel, which the Committee on Climate Change does, they rise to 507m tonnes.
— If you add on shipping and include the emissions from imported goods, they rise to 784m tonnes.
