London [UK], November 13: The UK Prime Minister says Britain will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 81% by 2035.
He committed the country to a more ambitious climate goal at the United Nations COP29 climate summit.
The new goal is in line with a recommendation from a committee of climate advisers who said last month the target should exceed the current 78% cut to emissions, measured against 1990 levels.
He adds that the British public would not be burdened because of the new target, which excludes international aviation and shipping emissions.
