Details
The 10 point plan for a green
industrial revolution lays the foundations for a green
economic recovery from the impact of COVID-19 with the UK at the forefront
of the growing global green economy.
This strategy builds on that approach to keep us on track for UK
carbon budgets, our 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution, and
net zero by 2050. It includes:
- our decarbonisation pathways to net zero by 2050, including
illustrative scenarios
- policies and proposals to reduce emissions for each sector
- cross-cutting action to support the transition

Tab: 2. The journey to Net Zero
The energy demands table (rows 487:491) has been updated to
correct for a misalignment between energy demands and the sector
emissions pathways in the Net Zero Strategy.
Tab: Table 10:
The GDP energy intensity metric (row 38) has been updated to
reflect the change in energy demands in the Tab 2 update.
The government response to the
2021 Committee on Climate Change (CCC) progress
report to Parliament in reducing UK emissions is
published alongside this strategy. It will set out our progress
over the last 12 months and addresses the
latest CCC recommendations.
The Net Zero Strategy will be submitted to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as the UK’s
second Long-Term
Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategy under
the Paris Agreement.
