Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends, projections and targets in the EU
More information
The GHG emission trends, projections and targets include emissions from international aviation, and exclude emissions and removals from the land-use sector. The ‘with existing measures’ (WEM) scenario reflects existing policies and measures, while the ‘with additional measures’ (WAM) takes into account the additional effects of planned measures reported by Member States. For the most part, these projections were reported in 2015 and therefore do not reflect the expected effects of recent policy proposals such as the reform of the EU ETS and other measures in non-ETS sectors for the period after 2020.
Unit: million tonnes CO2-equivalent
Methodology: Based on data reported by Member States under the Monitoring Mechanism Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 525/2013):
-1990-2015 historic trends from national greenhouse gas inventories submitted by 1/06/2017
-2016 approximated inventories submitted by 31/07/2017 + gap-filling
-projections submitted by Member States in 2017
