<p>The Government recognises that climate change is one of the most urgent and pressing
challenges we face, which is why we have set out ambitious plans in our Clean Growth
Strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through to 2032 and beyond.</p><p> </p><p>The
Strategy builds on the UK’s strong progress we have made towards our legally binding
targets, established in the world-leading Climate Change Act. Between 1990 and 2017,
the UK reduced its emissions by over 40 per cent while growing the economy by more
than two thirds.</p><p> </p><p>Looking ahead to the future, we have commissioned the
Committee on Climate Change to provide advice on the implications of the Paris Agreement
for the UK’s long-term emissions reduction targets, including on setting a net zero
target. This advice is due in May and we will consider it carefully when it is received.</p>
