Tá rath ag baint le hiarrachtaí an Aontais Eorpaigh astaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa a laghdú. Go deimhin, táthar ag súil go n-éireoidh leis an AE a sprioc aontaobhach 20% maidir le laghdú a bhaint amach (i gcomparáid le 1990) roimh 2020, an spriocdháta comhaontaithe. Ina theannta sin, tá sé ar intinn ag an AE astaíochtaí intíre a laghdú 40% ar a laghad faoi 2030 agus dícharbónú breise a dhéanamh ar a gheilleagar faoi 2050. Astaíonn an AE thart ar 10% d’astaíochtaí gás ceaptha teasa an domhain faoi láthair.

External Data Spec Climate Change 2014: Mitigation of Climate Change IPCC Working Group III Contribution to AR5 - Concluding four years of intense scientific collaboration by hundreds of authors from around the world, this report responds to the request of the world's governments for a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change.
External Data Spec Global Emissions EDGAR v4.2 FT2012 (November 2014) In EDGAR v4.2 FT2012 emissions are calculated for the greenhouse gases CO2, CH4 and N2O from 1970 to 2012 based on the energy balance statistics of IEA (2013). In the table underneath the emission timeseries per substance and per country can be downloaded. For a description of the data we refer to UNEP emissions gap report (2014): Chapter 2.

Briefing Annex 3 Progress towards energy efficiency targets: data and methodology This annex provides technical details on the data and methods used by the EEA to track current and projected progress towards energy efficiency targets in the EU.
Briefing 5. Progress towards Member States' renewable energy targets This chapter presents the current progress achieved by EU Member States towards their national targets on renewable energy. These targets, set under the Renewable Energy Directive, concern the use energy from renewable sources as a proportion of the total energy consumption.
Briefing 7. Progress towards Member States' energy efficiency targets This chapter presents the progress achieved by EU Member States towards their national targets on primary energy consumption. Member States had to set these indicative, non-binding targets on primary or final energy consumption for 2020 under the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).
Briefing 1. Overall progress towards the European Union's '20-20-20' climate and energy targets This chapter presents a synthetic overview of the progress achieved by the EU and its Member States in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the use of energy from renewable sources and reducing energy consumption, in view of their 2020 targets.

Folder Trends and projections in Europe 2016
Folder Trends and projections in Europe The EEA’s annual report on Trends and Projections in Europe updates the progress assessments of the EU and European countries towards their climate mitigation and energy targets. It also sets sights forward towards the EU’s 2020 and new 2030 targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing renewable energy generation and improving energy efficiency. The assessments in the Trends and Projections in Europe report draw on the most recent data on EU and Member States’ progress to their climate and energy targets. These include: EU’s and Member States’ GHG inventory, Member States’ Effort Sharing datasets, Member States’s GHG projections, Proxy estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in the most recent year.

Publication Annual European Union greenhouse gas inventory 1990–2012 and inventory report 2014 This report is the annual submission of the greenhouse gas inventory of the European Union to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. It presents greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2012 for EU-28, EU-15, individual Member States and economic sector.
Publication Mitigating climate change - SOER 2010 thematic assessment The EU emitted close to 5 billion tonnes (Gt) of CO2-equivalent emissions in 2008. It contributes today around 12 % of annual global anthropogenic direct greenhouse gas emissions. The EU is making good progress towards achieving its emission reduction targets. A rapid, sustained and effective transition to a low carbon economy is necessary to mitigate climate change and to meet global greenhouse gas emission targets.
