Keir Starmer pledges 81% cut to UK emissions by 2035 at Cop29 - WATCH

The UK has pledged an 81 per cent cut to emissions by 2035, Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed.

The goal, unveiled by the Prime Minister at Cop29 in Azerbaijan, is in line with the recommendation of the Climate Change Committee.

This target is based on reducing emissions compared with 1990 levels and forms the UK’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) – a commitment that countries make to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.
