Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Achieve zero avoidable waste by 2050
  • Double resource productivity by 2050
  • Reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 per cent by 2050 compared to 1990 levels
Medium-term Goals:
  • Halve the effects of air pollution on health by 2030
  • End the sale of new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040
  • Achieve zero avoidable plastic waste by the end of 2042
  • By 2030, all of England’s soils to be managed sustainably

Short-term Goals:
  • Improve at least three quarters of waters to be close to their natural state as soon as is practicable
  • Reduce damaging water abstraction from rivers and groundwater
  • Minimise harmful bacteria in designated bathing waters by 2030
  • Restore 75% of one million hectares of terrestrial and freshwater protected sites to favourable condition
  • Create or restore 500,000 hectares of wildlife-rich habitat
  • Increase woodland in England in line with our aspiration of 12% cover by 2060
