UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory, 1990 to 2023: Annual Report for submission under the Framework Convention on Climate Change

The UK continues to have technical difficulties with the CRT. While some of the most critical technical difficulties were resolved with support from the CRT application technical support team, it has not yet been possible to generate a PA version of the CRT with an accurate estimate of national emissions and so the UK has decided not to submit the PA version of the CRT by the 15/04/25 deadline. The UK will instead look to submit after the critical issues have been resolved. This page will be updated when this changes.

UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory, 1990 to 2022: Annual Report for submission under the Framework Convention on Climate Change

This page has been updated to include the final National Inventory Document (NIR) and Common Reporting Tables (CRT) reported to the UNFCCC under the Paris Agreement in December 2024. This supersedes the National Inventory Report (NIR) previously included on this page. In future years the NID and CRT will be reported on the same schedule that the NIR and Common Reporting Format (CRT) tables were reported.
