Conservatives pledged to plant 30,000 hectares of new woodland a year by 2025 .
Each year , data released by Forest Research showed nationwide tree-planting rates flatlining, rather than rising to meet the target.
By 2050 , unplanted trees would have removed 8.5m tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere.
All four nations failed to meet their tree-planting targets.
Wales, Wales and Northern Ireland both committed to planting rates roughly in line with CCC recommendations.
Scotland ’s repeated failure to hit its afforestation targets was cited by the CCC in March as one of the reasons the Scottish National Party -led government's climate plan was “no longer credible”.
Some 8.5MtCO2 of removals have been lost over this period equivalent to around 2% of the UK ’s economy-wide emissions in 2023 .
The UK could make up for the shortfall by making deeper emissions cuts elsewhere.
A new land-use framework in England would help to link up landowners and farmers prime tree-planting areas.
