Meeting Carbon Budgets – Ensuring a Low-carbon Recovery

As part of its statutory role, the Committee provides annual reports to Parliament on the progress that Government is making in meeting carbon budgets and in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
Meeting Carbon Budgets – ensuring a low-carbon recovery is the Committee’s 2nd progress report. Within this report we assess the latest emissions data and determine whether emissions reductions have occurred as a result of the recession, or, as a result of other external factors. We assess Government’s progress towards achieving emissions reductions in 4 key areas of: Power, Buildings and Industry, Transport and Agriculture.
