CCC: The Seventh Carbon Budget

Today the country’s climate advisors, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), present a new pathway to a decarbonised UK.

The CCC sets out how to achieve this by 2050, and what decisions need to be made in the coming years to ensure success. We model that we must reduce emissions by 87% (compared to 1990 levels) by 2040 – and show how this is feasible.

The Seventh Carbon Budget – This statutory report provides advice to the UK Government on the level of the Seventh Carbon Budget (2038 to 2042).
