GHG emissions progress and projections in the EU-27 2005-2030
Greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union dropped to 3.1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) in 2020, meaning the bloc exceeded its 2020 emissions target. However, current projections show that the EU will not reach its 2030 emissions target of 2.1 GtCO₂e. 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.
