· The latest projections[1] suggest, that using central assumptions net UK greenhouse gas emissions, which include the net impact of allowances purchased or sold through the EU ETS, could be 36 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020. This central projection indicates that the UK will be well within its Kyoto greenhouse gas emissions reductions target (to reduce emissions to 12.5 per cent below base year levels by 2008-2012) and will be on a path to an 80 per cent reduction by 2050 by being within the emissions limits set by the first three carbon budgets (see paragraph 18 below) for the periods 2008-12, 2013-17 and 2018-2022.
