Increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are leading to enhanced warming of the atmosphere and global climate change. Reduction targets for the basket of emissions were agreed at the Convention on Climate Change in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997. The target for the UK is to achieve a reduction of the global warming potential of the six greenhouse gases of 12.5 per cent by 2008-2012 (based on 1990 base year emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide and 1995 base year emissions of hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride).

General description

The Sustainable Development Indicators for Wales provide measures of everyday concerns including health, housing, jobs, crime, education and our environment. The indicators are first and foremost intended to communicate and highlight progress in key issues and priority areas for sustainable development, and along with other evidence help to identify where action is required.

Data collection and calculation

The statistics come from a range of sources in Wales and across the UK, which are updated at different times and intervals. More information can be found in the related statistical publication as per the given weblink.
