Authority’s budget spent on decommissioning and
cleaning up nuclear plants*
*Note: Decommissioning and clean up costs including capital expenditure for new plant to undertake clean up operations, e.g. building a
machine to extract waste safely.

High Accord offers assumes:
•High ambition pledges (conditional) are delivered in full
•Surplus AAUs not used
•Strict LULUCF rules
An Unconditional pledges scenario with lenient accounting
would lead to emissions of around 53Gt
The aim is to work in the UK, within the
EU and internationally to ensure
effective delivery of pledges and
increased ambition to reduce the gap
between 2020 projected emissions and
a cost-effective 2 degree pathway to
zero.
