News: Climate Change Committee’s 2022 Progress Report
On 29 June, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) published its 2022 Report to Parliament, assessing the Government’s progress in reducing emissions against the UK’s statutory carbon budgets.
The Report shows that the shipping emissions fell by 2% every year in the decade to 2021, with savings driven by a 26% fall in domestic shipping activity and a 7% reduction in outbound international freight shipping, due to significant reductions in the quantities of oil and coal being transported. Overall, the sector accounted for 3% of the UK’s total emissions in 2021, with just over half of that coming from international shipping.
