Including 2020, overall UK CO 2 emissions have decreased by 60.4% since 2010. As CO 2 emissions make up the majority of UK emissions, the trends observed on page 24 are again visible here. Despite reduced transport usage as a result of the coronavirus restrictions, the transport sector remains the primary source of CO 2 emissions, accounting for a 30.4% of all CO 2 emissions. Residential sector emissions remained higher than business sector emissions for a second year.
