Within the UK, wind power was the second largest source of renewable energy after biomass in 2013. [51] In 2014, Imperial College predicted that Britain could have 40% of electricity from solar power in sunny days by 2020 in 10 million homes compared to a half a million homes in start of 2014. If a third of households would generate solar ...

The UK has committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. [8] The target for 2030 is a 68% reduction compared with 1990 levels. [9] The UK has been successful in keeping its economic growth alongside taking climate change action. Since 1990, the UK'a greenhouse gas emissions have reduced by 44% while the economy has grown by around 75% up until 2019. [10]
