The committee which is responsible for reporting annual emission reductions in the UK, states that in the five years between 2003 to 2007 emissions reductions averaged 0.5 per cent per annum. Reductions of 2-3 per cent pa will be required to meet the carbon budgets already set and therefore the UK needs to increase its pace of reduction.
