UK will pledge to cut emissions by 81% compared with 1990 levels by 2035 .

The goal will be one of the first national plans on cutting carbon to be unveiled at Cop29 , the crucial UN climate summit in Azerbaijan this week .

It is expected to be the most ambitious of any government at the talks.

Campaigners have found the NDCs submitted so far “underwhelming”.

Erika Lennon , an attorney at the Center for International Environmental Law , said: “We’ve seen over and over again how carbon markets are not doing what they claim to be doing, as well as market projects that violate people’s rights. If they don’t have strong rules in place to prevent all of the abuses, it can totally undermine the integrity of the Paris agreement.”.
