The distribution of greenhouse gas emission sources in the United Kingdom varies by country. Transportation was the highest-emitting sector in both England and Scotland in 2021, representing just over one-quarter of total emissions in each nation. By comparison, agriculture was the highest-emitting sector in Northern Ireland, while energy supply was the largest source of emissions in Wales.
