Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what information her Department holds on emissions reductions across (a) local authorities and (b) government agencies.

The UK local and regional greenhouse gas emissions national statistics, 2005 to 2021 set out emissions data at the local authority level.

The Greening Government Commitments (GGCs) set out actions to reduce the environmental impact of the Government’s estate and operations, which includes mitigating climate change. In financial year 2020/21, the government reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 57% from the baseline year of 2009/10, exceeding the 43% target. This follows a 50% reduction from the baseline year in financial year 2019/20. For financial year 2020/21, it is estimated that this reduction in energy use represented a saving of £182 million, had energy consumption remained at the same level as the baseline year.
