The independent Climate Change Committee (CCC) has announced that urgent action is needed for the UK to meet its emissions reduction targets by 2030. According to the CCC's latest report, the UK is not on track to achieve its goal of a 68% reduction in emissions compared to 1990 levels. Although the UK has halved its emissions since 1990, most of this progress comes from phasing out coal-generated electricity.
The CCC highlighted the need for a rapid reduction in oil and gas use to meet the targets. Additional actions are required in areas such as electric cars, heat pumps and tree planting. Installing wind turbines and solar panels must also increase to meet the goals.
Urgent action across all sectors of the economy is essential to achieve the 2030 emissions reduction target and ensure the UK remains a leader in international climate action.

Delaying action only makes the challenge more difficult and costly.

Not only UK but also other nations must end their reliance on fossil fuels and invest in alternative sources of energy

It is saddening that the UK is still lagging in achieving its climate and emission targets. The UK should be a leading example for other countries, and it is a shame that they are not meeting their targets.

This calls for urgent actions by the UK government to come up with appropriate measures to reduce oil and gas use.

@rosebellendiritu We expected them to be on the frontline fighting and curbing the use of fossil fuel but they are still lagging behind

The UK ought to come up with measures to rapidly reduce oil and gas use to meet their environmental targets.

@jane_wangui The best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to reduce oil demand, rather than focus on reducing production.

UK has been lagging behind and it's high the leaders re-energize their actions to enable them meet the deadlines.

@tabitha_kimani They have the potential to accelerate green energy transition but i don't know why they are not committed towards it!

@tabitha_kimani The United Kingdom has committed to meeting this target, but it is falling behind. The UK government needs to take urgent action to reverse this trend.
