UK greenhouse gas emissions
The UK greenhouse gas inventory – methods and compilation section consists of background information on gases, how emissions are measured and derived, different reporting approaches to emissions and how emissions can be classified into categorical breakdowns.
The UK emissions statistics section includes all published statistics on climate change, both at national and local authority level.
The UK has both international (Kyoto Protocol) and domestic (UK Climate Change Act) targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Detail of the UK’s performance against these emissions targets can be found on the Emissions targets web page.
