Data on GHG emissions are shown as net emissions including international aviation emissions for all years. The aggregated GHG emissions projections are based on the data submitted by Member States in 2024 under Article 18 of the Governance Regulation, taking into account planned additional measures (′WAM-scenario′).

GHG emissions progress and projections in the EU-27 2005-2030
Greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union fell percent in 2023, to just under billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCOâ‚‚e). This means that EU GHG emissions have fallen by ** percent since 2005, and ** percent when compared to 1990 levels. Despite this progress, current projections show that the EU will not reach its 2030 emissions target. As part of the Fit for 55 package, the EU has set the target of reducing net GHG emissions by 55 percent by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.
