Almost 50% of the UK’s carbon footprint comes from overseas emissions

Almost 50% of the UK’s carbon footprint comes from emissions released overseas to satisfy UK-based consumption, according to a new report by the WWF.

According to the report, products including clothing, processed foods and electronics imported into the UK are counted as the manufacturing country’s emissions, not the UK’s , although they would not have been produced were it not for UK demand.

The report says that these emissions account for 46% of the UK’s carbon footprint yet are not currently covered by national reporting or included in the UK’s net-zero target.
