This report is an indicator-based assessment of European Community and acceding and candidate countries’ greenhouse gas emission trends, emission projections and existing and proposed policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2010. The report presents an assessment of the...

This report presents a summary of the activities and products of the Topic Centre on Air Emissions in 1999. The Topic Centre (ETC/AE) was appointed in December 1994 by EEA to act as a centre of expertise on air emissions for use by the Agency in support of its mission.

This report serves as input to the annual progress evaluation report of the European Commission, under the Monitoring Mechanism of Community CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. EC greenhouse gas emissions in 1999 were 2 % below 1998 levels, and 4 % below 1990 levels. This cut takes the EC...

This report provides an overview and analysis of the air pollution situation in Europe in the year 2000 and the preceding decade. It is based on indicators for underlying driving forces, emissions, air quality, deposition of pollutants and the effectiveness of policies and measures. The report...

This report is the annual submission of the greenhouse gas inventory of the European Community to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It presents greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2005 by individual Member State and by economic sector. The report shows that between...

The latest projections from pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15) show that the EU-15 can meet, and may even overachieve, its 2008u00962012 Kyoto target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 8 % below 1990 levels if Member States implement now all additional policies being planned. Based on Member...

This report presents an assessment of the current and projected progress of EU Member States, EU candidate countries and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and of progress towards the EU target for 2020. This is based on their past greenhouse gas...

The EU‑15 is making good progress towards its common Kyoto target. Five EU‑15 Member States (France, Germany, Greece, Sweden and the United Kingdom) have already achieved average GHG emission levels below their Kyoto target.

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...
