Reino Unido en la blanco para abordar calentarse global, al parecer

Reino Unido está en la blanco para exceder su comisión de Kyoto para reducir emisiones de gas del invernadero por 12.5 por ciento, según un informe.

El Ministerio de cambio de la Energía y del clima ha indicado eso Reino Unido se espera que las emisiones de gas del invernadero sean alrededor 23 por ciento debajo de los niveles 1990 antes de 2010, excediendo la blanco de Kyoto de 12.5 por ciento.

En un informe a los Naciones Unidas, el departamento contorneó sus políticas para ayudar a Reino Unido casi doble sus blancos de las reducciones de las emisiones.

También destacó medidas a largo plazo de reducir el cambio del clima incluyendo el acto del cambio del clima, que requiere Reino Unido to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.

The department stressed the importance of international agreements in reducing carbon emissions in its report.

It comes as officials prepare for a meeting on the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn, with discussions focusing on a successor for the existing Kyoto agreement.

Climate change minister Joan Ruddock said: “Our latest report to the UN shows what can be achieved when government, communities and business work together to reduce emissions.

“We already have significant achievements under our belt, but we know there is more to be done - we must continue to work urgently to reduce our emissions further and faster.”

She continued: “But our progress report tells those who claim there is no alternative to a high-carbon society: there is an alternative. We’re creating an alternative.

“We know that individual actions account for more than 40 per cent of emissions, so I would urge people around the country to use ‘world environment day’ as a chance to assess their own impact on the environment, and take steps to reduce their individual carbon footprint.”
