The average carbon footprint of a UK citizen from Feb 2019 to June 2022 was 12.26 tonnes of Co2e; double the global average. By the end of 2024, the UK figure is expected to be around 8.8 tonnes. 
What is your carbon footprint? Use the WWF Carbon Footprint Calculator to find out.


Our emissions can be grouped into five categories, split as follows: Food (14%), Home (23%), Travel (23%), Buying (18%) and Government Spending (22%). We have significant control over the first four categories and can influence Government Spending by lobbying and voting.
