The department is actively engaged in contributing fully to the government's overall objective, for the UK, to reach Net Zero by 2050. Central Government has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% in 2019-20, compared to a 2009-10 baseline, exceeding its target of 43%. The Greening Government Commitments framework provides a comprehensive, coherent and quality assured dataset on central government emissions and allows consistent comparisons to be made.
