Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2004
EEA Report No 5/2004

Released: 2004/12/21: See the report

Subtitle

Progress by the EU and its Member States towards achieving their Kyoto Protocol targets

Abstract
Greenhouse gas emissions in the pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15) in 2002 were 2.9 % below base-year level. This means the EU-15 was little more than a third of the way towards achieving the 8 % emissions reduction from base-year levels required by 2008-12 under the Kyoto Protocol. On the basis of their emissions in 2002 nine of the EU-15 (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain) were not on track to meet their individual greenhouse gas limitation or reduction targets in 2010.
