Annual change in greenhouse gas emissions in the UK 1990-2020

Published by Ian Tiseo, Apr 1, 2022
In 2020, the United Kingdom's greenhouse gas emissions fell 9.5 percent from the previous year. This substantial reduction was caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting limitations on travel and other economic sectors. Annual greenhouse gas emissions in the UK have mostly declined since 1990, only increasing in six years during this period. The largest increase was in 2012, when emissions rose by approximately three percent compared with the previous year.

Since 1990, greenhouse gas emissions in the UK have fallen by roughly 50 percent.
