Aviation emissions rose in 2022 to reach nearly 80% of their pre-pandemic peak in 2019. After increasing at an average of 2.3% per year from 1990 to 2019, direct CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion plummeted from more than 1 000 Mt CO 2 in 2019 to less than 600 Mt CO 2 in 2020 in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) provides greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions time series for all countries and for all anthropogenic sectors from 1970 until 2022, with the exception of emissions and removals from land use and forestry, which are provided for the years 1990-2022. The report contributes to the Paris
Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use: 18.4%. Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use directly accounts for 18.4% of greenhouse gas emissions. The food system as a whole – including refrigeration, food processing, packaging, and transport – accounts for around one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions. We look at this in detail here.
EU 2020 climate goals. The EU targets for 2020 were set out in the climate and energy package adopted in 2008. One of its objectives was a 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels. Check out the different greenhouse gases and their global warming potential. It is estimated that EU emissions in 2020 were 31% lower than in 1990
The European Union (EU) is likely to see a 0.8% decline in emissions in 2022, driven by lower gas use associated with Russia’s attack on Ukraine and the resulting global energy market disruption. EU demand for gas may be down by as much as 10% this year, while emissions from coal are expected to increase by close to 7% as it substitutes for
On total CO2 emissions, the UK emits around twice the average of the EU14 countries combined. The UK's CO2 emissions have declined steadily since 2010. As well as being the largest single GHG emitters, Germany emits the most CO2 in the EU14 in 2020, with around 700 MtCo2.
OHr6. For the second commitment period, the assigned amount of the EU (15,813,089,338 t CO2 eq) is the difference between (1) the joint assigned amount of the EU, its member States and Iceland, equaling 80 per cent of their base-year emissions as inscribed in the third column of Annex B in the Doha Amendment, multiplied by eight (37,604,433,280 t CO2
The European Union (EU) is the world’s third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases and has a crucial part to play in achieving the 1.5ºC target of the Paris Climate Agreement. Since 1990, transport emissions in the EU have grown by 33% even as other sectors have reduced emissions by 32%. In 2018, domestic and international transport were

A European Union plan to charge fuel suppliers for the CO2 emitted by cars and home-heating has split member states and looks set to dominate negotiations on how to tackle climate change in 2022.
EU countries also backed plans to launch a new EU carbon market covering emissions from fuels used in cars and buildings in 2027, plus a 86.7 billion euro EU fund to support consumers affected by
