Chart (interactive)
This figure shows EU progress since 2005 on reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, increasing the Renewable Energy Share (RES) and reducing Energy Consumption (EC). The EU’s total net GHG emissions include all emissions and removals regulated by EU law.

Additional information
Data for 2005-2023 are from Eurostat, and EEA; 2024 values are EEA estimates. The aggregated GHG emissions projections are based on Member State submissions in 2025 under Article 18 of the Governance Regulation. Reference points for 2030 refer to the targets outlined in the 2030 legislative framework. For GHG, the reduction in 2040 relates to the EC recommendation and for 2050 it aligns with the EU's net climate neutrality goal. The reference points for renewable energy and final energy consumption in 2040 and 2050 represent the results of scenario S3 in the 2040 impact assessment.
