| The UK's climate change programme | | The Government believes in the importance of taking domestic action to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Since Kyoto in 1997, the UK has been pressing ahead and introducing innovative policies which will have a significant impact. The UK's climate change programme will be published in November 2000. It details how the UK plans to deliver its Kyoto target to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 12.5%, and move towards its domestic goal to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 20% below 1990 levels by 2010. The Government estimates that the proposals in the climate change programme could reduce the UK's greenhouse gas emissions to about 23% below 1990 levels in 2010. This is comfortably beyond the Kyoto target. The quantified measures in the programme could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 19% in 2010, representing significant progress towards the Governments goal. But there is still much more that could be done, and the UK programme is designed to stimulate a wider response from all parts of society. These, currently unquantified, measures could reduce emissions still further and deliver the 20% goal. | | Click here to go to The UK's climate change programme website |
