Tracking progress towards Kyoto and 2020 targets in Europe
EEA Report No 7/2010

Released: 2010/10/12: See the report

Abstract:
This report presents an overview of the progress achieved so far by the EU, its Member States and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and the EU burden-sharing agreement. The assessment is based on greenhouse gas emission data in Europe for 2008, the first year of the Kyoto Protocol's first commitment period which runs from 2008 to 2012. The recent availability of 2009 emissions estimates for the EU and a limited number of countries broadens, in these cases, the basis of the assessment to two years of the five-year commitment period.

Prepared by: EEA and its European Topic Centre for Air and Climate Change (ETC/ACC) with Jakob Graichen as ETC/ACC task coordinator. The authors were Jakob Graichen, Julia Busche, Hauke Hermann and Anke Herold of the Öko-Institut (ETC/ACC Consortium partner), and François Dejean of the EEA.
Additional input for the country profiles was provided by Elisabeth Rigler, Nicole Mandl and Bernd Gugele of the Austrian Environment Agency (UBA Vienna) as ETC/ACC Consortium partner.
