Seventeenth annual statement of emissions required under section 16 of the Climate Change Act 2008.

▤ Verbatim text from source document

The seventeenth annual statement of emissions sets out the steps taken to calculate the net UK carbon account in respect of 2024. It is the second report in the fourth carbon budget period (2023 to 2027).

The net UK carbon account is the metric we compare against the carbon budgets to determine whether they are being met, and it must not exceed the level of the carbon budget at the end of each budgetary period.
