The main sources of GHG emissions are transport, energy supply and business and residential buildings.
Each of these sectors need to undergo considerable transformation in order for the UK (and the world) to meet zero carbon targets.
Achieving ‘net zero’ greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will require a combination of cutting emissions and offsetting carbon emissions (e.g. by carbon capture & storage and afforestation).
