The UK’s greenhouse gas emissions without land use, land-use change, and forestry are projected to decline significantly from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the emissions were measured at 384.56 trillion grams of CO2 equivalent. Year-on-year, emissions decrease consistently: by 4.1% in 2025, 4.2% in 2026, 4.4% in 2027, and 4.5% in 2028. Over the five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of emissions decrease stands at approximately 4.3%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of regulatory policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions further.
- Advancements in renewable energy adoption and their effects on emission reductions.
- Technological innovations in carbon capture and storage that may accelerate the decline.
- Potential economic factors or industrial changes that could either hinder or boost the pace of reduction.
