Britain’s greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 2% last year.
Britain’s greenhouse gas emissions fell 2% in 2025 to 367 million tonnes CO₂e, driven mainly by a 12% drop in industrial emissions following blast furnace closures in the steel sector, according to provisional government data. Electricity emissions fell slightly after the UK recorded its first year without coal‑fired power generation. However, transport emissions rose 2% due to higher petrol and diesel use. Overall emissions are now 54% below 1990 levels, as the UK targets net zero by 2050 and an 81% reduction by 2035.
