Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy written question – answered at on 10 December 2018.
Lord Barker of Battle
Conservative
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the UK’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions over the past ten years relative to other major European economies.
Lord Henley
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy)
While EU Member States have all committed to taking action to reduce their emissions, the UK’s performance has been consistently strong over the past decade, reducing emissions faster than our closest European counterparts.
Furthermore, PwC’s independent Low Carbon Economy Index 2018 shows that since 2000, the UK has improved the carbon intensity of its economy faster than all other G20 countries.
