London’s CO2 emissions by sector
![Page 7: Low Carbon London_Climate Change Section at British Embassy Seoul](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061106/5447eeccb1af9fb4188b45d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The challenge
• In 2008, emissions were about the same as in 1990 (45MtCO2)
• Peak in 2000• If no further action taken, emissions would
reduce by about 11% by 2025• Need to do more
