Cyfrifon amgylcheddol

Mae'r cyfrifon hyn yn dangos y berthynas rhwng yr amgylchedd a'r economi. Mae hyn yn dangos sut mae'r amgylchedd yn cyfrannu at yr economi, yr effaith y mae'r economi yn ei chael ar yr amgylchedd, a sut y mae cymdeithas yn ymateb i faterion amgylcheddol.

Uchafbwyntiau

UK Environmental Accounts: 2019

Beth sydd yn y bwletin?

  • The continued switch away from coal towards gas and renewable energy resulted in a fall in UK greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2017, the continuation of a long-term trend.
  • Households have been the biggest emitter of GHGs since 2015, accounting for one-quarter of total UK GHG emissions.
  • Vegetation in the UK removed an estimated 28 million tonnes (CO2 equivalent) of carbon gases in 2017.

Datasets related to Cyfrifon amgylcheddol

  • Energy use: total

    Data on the UK's direct use of energy (allocated to the original purchasers and consumers of fuels) from fossil fuels and other sources (nuclear, net imports, renewables, biofuels and waste) and reallocated use of energy (losses incurred during transformation and distribution are allocated to the final consumer of the energy rather than the electricity generation industry), by industry (SIC 2007 section - 21 categories), 1990 to 2017.

  • Atmospheric emissions: greenhouse gases by industry and gas

    Data on the emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydro-fluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride, nitrogen trifluoride and total greenhouse gas emissions, UK, 1990 to 2017 and provisional 2018.

  • Low carbon and renewable energy economy estimates

    Annual estimates of low carbon and renewable energy economy activity in the UK and constituent countries: turnover, employment, exports, imports, acquisitions, disposals and number of businesses.

  • Energy use: renewable and waste sources

    Data on the UK's energy use from renewable and waste sources, by source (for example, hydroelectric power, wind, wave, solar, and so on) and industry (SIC 2007 section - 21 categories), 1990 to 2017.

  • Oil and gas: reserves and resources

    Estimates of the UK's remaining recoverable oil and gas reserves and resources, 1995 to 2018.

  • Environmental taxes

    An examination of the size and composition of environmental taxes between 1993 and 2014. Including an analysis by type of environmental tax, a consideration of who pays the taxes and a comparison with other European countries. Main findings show that environmental taxes raised £44.6 billion in the UK in 2014, providing 7.5% of all revenue from taxes and social contributions

  • Greenhouse gas emissions

    Estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in 2013, for which UK residents and UK-based businesses are directly responsible (whether in the UK or overseas). These estimates have been produced on a consistent basis with the UK's national accounts and provide an important indicator for the environmental pressure caused by the UK's economic activities. Main findings show that greenhouse gas emissions in 2013 were estimated to be 2% lower than in 2012, and 23.6% lower than in 1990.

  • UK Natural Capital Freshwater Ecosystem Assets and Services Accounts

    This paper is a first attempt by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to develop initial experimental statistics on UK freshwater ecosystem assets and ecosystem services. Selecting a number of indicators, this paper shows the condition of UK freshwaters between 2008 and 2012. On an experimental basis, ONS also estimates that the monetary value of UK freshwaters was £37 billion in 2012, 26% higher than in 2008. This is mainly due to an increase in the monetary value of UK open waters. It is important to emphasise this monetary value is based on a limited number of ecosystem services that are covered by these accounts. The methodology to develop these indicators and monetary estimates remains under development and the estimates reported should be considered experimental. Further work will be undertaken to develop and improve them.

  • UK Natural Capital Land Cover in the UK

    We take a look at land cover ecosystem accounts for the United Kingdom (UK). The land cover accounts based on data from the Countryside Survey show that the land cover changed significantly in the UK between 1998 and 2007.
