In 2023, the UK's total greenhouse gas emissions with land use, land-use change, and forestry stood at approximately 386 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent year-on-year decline in emissions, with a decrease of around 4.1% annually. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, emissions are expected to fall by 4.1%, with similar percentage reductions forecasted for each subsequent year. Over the five-year period, this trend translates into a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -4.1%, indicating a sustained effort towards reduction.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in carbon capture technologies, increased adoption of renewable energy sources, and strengthened policy measures. Monitoring these elements is crucial as the UK aims to meet its long-term climate targets and further curb emissions.
