| Abstract
|
While other sectors of the UK economy have made some progress in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions since 1990, the transport sector, taken to include both air and surface modes as well as domestic and international movements from the UK, has yet to do so. In 2019, emissions were 11 per cent above 1990 levels compared to the 53 per cent reduction achieved by the rest of the economic sectors. Emissions from transport finally fell below the baseline level in 2020, due to the impacts on travel activity posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, only to bounce back again since. The latest figures (2023) show transport, including international movements, standing at 151 MtCO2e, essentially still at the 1990 baseline.
