The overall climate change gas emissions in the UK have dropped by 39% over this period.** With around two thirds of District, County, Unitary & Metropolitan Councils having declared a Climate Emergency to date, reducing transport emissions to achieve Net Zero Carbon is a rising priority for many authorities in the UK and SYSTRA can assist in achieving these aims. ![sustainable-design-2048x1210-en](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/08/sustainable-design-2048x1210-en-1024x605.jpg) ![nature-positive](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/06/nature-positive-1024x645.jpg) _services Nature Positive Read more sur Nature Positive_ ![climate-change-adaptation-website-header](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/06/climate-change-adaptation-website-header-1024x645.jpg) _services Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience Read more sur Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience_ ![electric-vehicles-and-energy-transition-header](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/06/electric-vehicles-and-energy-transition-header-1024x645.jpg) _services Electric Vehicles and Energy Transition Read more sur Electric Vehicles and Energy Transition_ ![health-safety-security-header-2048x1291](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/06/health-safety-security-header-2048x1291-1-1024x646.jpg) _Equality, Inclusion & Diversity Read more sur Equality, Inclusion & Diversity_ ![sustainability_header](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2025/10/sustainability_header-1024x645.jpg) _Sustainability at SYSTRA Read more sur Sustainability at SYSTRA_ ![Leeds Recycling & Energy Recovery Facility (RERF)](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/05/energy_header-1024x645.jpg) _markets Energy Read more sur Energy_ ![Bicycle parked on pavement with motion blur bus in the background](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/05/website-header-banner-image-2380-x-1500-website-template-1-1024x645.jpg) _markets Transport Read more sur Transport_ ![climate](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2021/04/climate-1024x566.jpg) - Expert Insights Duncan IRONS ### Carbon, Climate – What’s the Emergency?
