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 2008 for EU-27, EU-15, individual Member States and economic sector.

This report serves as input to the annual progress evaluation report of the European Commission to the Council and the European Parliament, as required under the Monitoring Mechanism of Community CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. The report analyses actual progress by comparing 1990-1998...

EU and candidate countries' progress between 1990 and 2000 towards reaching their targets under the Kyoto Protocol is assessed in this report. It shows which countries are on track, the greenhouse gas emission trends in each sector and the reasons for increases or decreases. The report supports...

The report provides an analysis of trends of emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases (1980 to 1996) in Europe by total and by main polluting sectors (transport, industry, energy, agriculture). Emissions are compared to agreed international emission reduction targets and ceilings through...

An analysis of trends in emissions of the main air pollutants in EU Member States and Candidate Counties between 1990 and 1999 is presented in this report. Emissions data are shown and analysed by country and economic sector. They are also compared with agreed international emission ceilings and...

This report explores the potential ancillary benefits for air pollution - in terms of reductions in pollutant emissions and changes in control costs and environmental impacts - resulting from different ways of implementing the Kyoto climate change protocol in Europe. It is based on a comparison...

This EEA report constitutes the main part of the European Community's submission of its initial report to the secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The report establishes the assigned amount for the European Community (EU-15), and demonstrates its...

This report analyses projected changes in European air quality up to 2030. It explores the possible benefits of climate policies on air quality and the costs of air pollution abatement. The results show that stringent EU climate change policies (aimed at limiting temperature rise to 2 degrees...

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...
