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...

This report presents greenhouse gas inventories for the European Community and its Member States, for 1990-1998. The EU has to report annual inventories to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The European Commission submitted the report to the UNFCCC secretariat in April 2000. Total...

This study has collated available environmental expenditure data on the market for goods and services produced by eco-industries in both the EU-15 and the Candidate Countries, as the basis for describing the economic significance of the sector, including employment levels. Whilst there are gaps...

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...

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...

The projected progress of the EU Member States and candidate countries towards reaching their Kyoto Protocol targets by 2010 is analysed in this report. The analysis is based on national programmes. For each country the report shows projected emissions and the sectors that are contributing most,...

This report serves as the annual submission of the European Community (EC) to the UNFCCC. It presents the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory of the EC, the EC GHG inventory process and methods and GHG inventory data of its individual Member States for 1990-2000. The GHG inventory data of the EC MS...

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 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...
