Our Transport Decarbonisation Plan explores many similar themes to the Scottish Government’s Mission Zero and sets out a credible, deliverable pathway to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, as well as delivering transport’s contribution to demanding carbon budgets along the way. We will continue to review the Plan’s progress in light of emerging evidence and have committed to updating it every five years.

We will engage closely with Devolved Administrations in delivery of the Plan, respecting areas of devolved competency, as we jointly work towards our shared goals of decarbonising transport across the UK and achieving net zero UK-wide.
