Carbon Emissions: Temperature

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 12 July 2023 to Question 192282 on Carbon Emissions: Temperature, what estimate has he made of the contribution of UK emission reduction measures on global temperatures.

Answer

The UK was the first major economy to legislate to end its contribution to global warming by 2050. The Climate Change Committee stated that this is in line with the Paris Agreement temperature goal. Given the UK's leading development of global low carbon technologies, the impact of the UK's actions reach beyond its own emissions.
