Decarbonising Transport: A Better, Greener Britain

Decarbonising Transport - One year on 

Released

Review published

This plan sets out the government’s commitments and the actions needed to decarbonise the UK's transport system. It defines a sectoral net zero pathway that combines 1) decarbonising efforts in all forms of transport, and 2) transversal measures such as a push for hydrogen and the unlocking of green finance. The plan calls for decarbonisation strategies that maximise health, economic and social co-benefits. The plan followed on from&nbsp;"Decarbonising transport: setting the challenge", published in March 2020, which laid out the scale of additional reductions needed to deliver transport’s contribution to legally binding carbon budgets and delivering net zero by 2050. "Decarbonising transport: one-year-on review" was published in July 2022, summarising progress over the 12 months since the plan was published and outlined upcoming milestones.
