UK Committee on Climate Change Urges 81% Emissions Cut by 2035, Following UNEP's Call for Increased Ambition
Oct 26, 2024, 02:25 AM
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) in the UK has urged the government to commit to an 81% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. This recommendation follows a report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which stated that new climate pledges require a significant increase in ambition to meet the Paris Agreement goals. The CCC's proposal aligns with previous commitments made by the former Conservative government, which aimed for a 78% reduction including international aviation and shipping. The call for steeper emissions cuts has been echoed by various campaigners and climate watchdogs, emphasizing the urgent need for the UK to accelerate its efforts in combating climate change.
