record of emissions reductions

The UK has a strong record of emissions reductions and is also one of the first major economies to set a legally binding net-zero target. Britain has successfully met its first three carbon budgets, mandated by the Climate Change Act of 2008. It has also significantly reduced carbon emissions from electricity generation by phasing out coal and expanding renewables like wind and solar. By 2023, renewables accounted for 47 percent of electricity, up from 7 percent in 2010, and the country’s last coal power plant was closed in September 2024. สล็อต
