Effort Sharing, ETS, LULUCF trends and projections in the EU-27

This figure shows the EU-27 greenhouse gas emission (GHG) targets, historical and future emission trends of the Effort Sharing, ETS and LULUCF.

Units

Million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (MtCO₂e)

Additional information

The 2024 value is based on approximated inventory reports. The GHG projections are based on the most recent data submitted by Member States in March 2025 under article 8 of the Governance Regulation. The 2020 target, defined without taking into account LULUCF emissions and removals, has been translated into a net emissions target by multiplying net 1990 emissions with 80%, while the 2030 and 2050 targets correspond to the reduction objectives of -55% and climate neutrality, respectively, as included in the European Climate Law. A level shift between historic and projected values may arise because the latest historic estimates use provisional data (T-1), while projections are anchored to the final inventory year (T-2) or earlier (T-n).
