Three in four urban Brits live in cities with green energy goals, report finds

BRITAIN is leading the way in setting green goals – with nearly three in four Brits living in cities covered with ambitious energy goals, a fresh report declares today.

More than 100 cities now have renewable energy targets, others have low emission zones or vehicle bans, and solar panel initiatives, soaring way ahead of other nations on going green.

That covers nearly three in four Brits living in urban areas across the UK – a whopping 40.6million people.

UK cities are also global frontrunners in declaring climate emergencies, and London has the largest fleet of electric buses in Europe, according to a fresh study from Ren21 renewables group.

Six cities have ambitious goals for electric vehicles too as Britain steams ahead with new eco-friendly cars which don't destroy the planet.

London is one of the world’s EV capitals – with 405 public EV chargers per million population.


45 cities have targets to reach net zero, too.

Aberdeen launched the first green hydrogen-powered double decker buses last year too.

And the number of UK climate action plans have doubled by the end of 2020.
