At COP29 in Baku, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 81% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. This goal represents the UK’s new Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement, which must be submitted to the UN by February. Starmer emphasized the need for global cooperation to tackle climate change, while acknowledging the UK’s current shortfall in meeting its 2030 targets. Environmental group Greenpeace praised the goal but stressed the importance of bold actions to support it.
