in the Net Zero Strategy in 2021 which included a detailed breakdown of actions required
across all sectors in the economy. This was updated in 2023 through the publication
of ‘Powering Up Britain’.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has halved its emissions, ahead of
every other major economy, and we have grown our economy by over 70% since 1990. The
UK over-achieved against the first and second carbon budgets, and the latest projections
show that we are on track to meet the third.</p><p> </p><p>We have one of the most
ambitious decarbonisation targets in the world, and we have set more stretching targets
for 2030 than most countries. We plan to cut emissions by 68% by 2030, which is more
than the EU, Japan or the United States.</p><p> </p>
