BBC : Despite the UK’s decision to quit the European Union last week, the country’s commitment to last year’s Paris climate negotiations appears to remain intact. Government ministers are expected to announce a 57% cut to the country’s carbon emissions from 1990 levels by 2032. That amount greatly exceeds the 40% agreed upon by the European Union. Once confirmed, however, the new target will require the introduction of new policies to overhaul the UK’s aging energy system and fund greener technologies.
