29% of UK emissions came from transport in 2023
Transport is now the biggest greenhouse gas emitting sector in the UK. The Government will be in the spotlight in this Parliament to deliver the emissions savings promised from existing policies on cars and vans, to rapidly set out similar policies for trucks and to set up the frameworks for shipping and aviation decarbonisation, with international shipping and aviation being included in UK carbon budgets for the first time from 2033.
Incoming ministers will be faced with immediate decisions to take forward decarbonisation policy for transport. This briefing is a handbook to how to make sure those decisions reduce emissions in line with carbon budgets while enabling the UK to benefit economically from the transition.
This handbook lists the decisions needed in this Parliament to tackle emissions and seize the economic benefits of decarbonisation.
