The EU has not succeeded in meeting its target to reduce, by 2020, the greenhouse gas emission intensity of fuels sold for road transport to 6% below 2010 levels. Between 2010 and 2020, the emission intensity decreased by 5.5%, mostly due to the increased use of biofuels. Eleven countries have succeeded in decreasing their emission intensities by more than 6%. If Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) effects of biofuel production are considered, the emission intensity of fuels sold in the EU decreased slightly between 2019 and 2020.
In 2020, eleven countries succeeded in decreasing their emission intensities by more than 6%, with Sweden and Finland achieving the highest reductions (19.1% and 7.2% respectively).
This figure shows the EU-27 greenhouse gas emission targets, historical and future emission trends of emissions covered by the Effort Sharing legislation, the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) and the Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry sector (LULUCF).
The figure shows the historic trend of emissions and removals of the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector by main land use category. The figure also shows projections for the LULUCF sector.
This figure shows the historical and future trends in net greenhouse gas emissions (including international aviation) for the EU-27, alongside key targets for 2020, 2030 and 2050.
Overview of the key affected sectors reported per country
The graph shows the material footprint level for the EU Member States, meaning the sum of materials needed to produce the goods demanded by EU citizens.
The figure shows the share of bus and trains in total inland passenger transport activity in the EU-27.
The figure shows the percentage point variation in the share of bus and trains (collective modes) in total inland passenger transport activity by country.
In this indicator, events are grouped according to the available information in CATDAT. Meteorological events: storms (including lightning and hail) and mass movements. Hydrological events: floods. Climatological events: heatwaves, cold waves, droughts, forest fires. Total economic losses, in EUR billion (2022 prices), are based on recorded estimates from CATDAT provided by RiskLayer (dataset url is not available) and Eurostat structural indicators.
The figure shows the share of Organic farming area in 2012 and in 2021 in the countries and in the EU, based on EUROSTAT data.
Organic farming in the EU has been continuously increasing since 2012 and reached an estimated 9.9% of the utilised agricultural area (UAA) in 2021.
