Sam Unsworth from PwC Sustainability & Climate Change team explains the UK’s performance in this year’s Low Carbon Economy Index and its implications for delivering the Paris Agreement.
Low Carbon Economy Index tracks the rate of the low carbon transition in each of the G20 economies and compares this with their national targets.
Top performers in 2016 are the UK and China, which reduced their carbon intensities by 7.7% and 6.5%.
Both exceeded their NDC targets and the annual global decarbonisation rate required to limit warming to two degrees, PwC mentions.
