Transport: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate she has made of the level of emission reductions that will be required in the transport sector to meet the targets set out in the sixth carbon budget.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
As the UK’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, decarbonising transport will play an important role in meeting economy-wide carbon budgets. Transport emissions reduced by 10% between 2019 to 2023, but emissions must fall faster to achieve our legal targets. The Government will deliver an updated delivery plan for meeting legislated carbon budgets later this year, with policy detail for all sectors provided up to the end of Carbon Budget 6 in 2037.
