About this Digital Document
The UK has reduced emissions substantially, aiming for an 80% decrease in emissions by 2050.

By focusing on renewables and nuclear power, efficiency in sectors such as building and transportation, and balance of electricity supply inconsistencies, the UK can meet its ambitious targets.
