The United Kingdom's Climate Change Programme was launched in November 2000 by the British government in response to its commitment agreed at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The 2000 programme 〔http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/climatechange/uk/ukccp/2000/index.htm〕 was updated in March 2006 following a review 〔http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/climatechange/uk/ukccp/review04/index.htm〕 launched in September 2004. In 2008, the UK was the world's 9th greatest producer of man-made carbon emissions, producing around 1.8% of the global total generated from fossil fuels. ==Aim and progress== The aims of the programme are not only to cut all greenhouse gas emissions by the agreed 12.5% from 1990 levels in the period 2008 to 2012 (the international Kyoto commitment), but to go beyond this by cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 20% from 1990 levels by 2010. When the original programme was published in 2000, it confirmed that UK emissions were already forecast to be around 15% lower by 2010. As of March 2006, government projections were in line with the official energy policy of the United Kingdom) so that, by 2010, the UK will have reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by about 15-18% below 1990 levels, thus missing the government's internal target but achieving its Kyoto Protocol target, with a projected reduction of emissions from the basket of all greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide) of about 23-25% from 1990 levels.〔http://www.defra.gov.uk/ENVIRONMENT/climatechange/uk/ukccp/index.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Kingdom Climate Change Programme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
