Development of EU ETS (2005-2020) Set up in 2005, the EU ETS is the world’s first international emissions trading system. It is now in its fourth phase (2021-2030).First stepsThe A ‘cap and trade’ system to reduce emissions via a carbon market.
Notes on our processing step for this indicator. Data on global emissions has been converted from tonnes of carbon to tonnes of carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) using a conversion factor of 3.664. Emissions from the Kuwaiti oil fires in 1991 have been included as part of Kuwait's emissions for that year. Country's share of the global population is

In 2021, when most of the COVID-19 containment measures were lifted by the EU Member States, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion in the EU (mainly oil and oil products, natural gas, coal and peat) increased by 6.3% compared with the previous year. CO2 emissions from energy use are a major contributor to global warming and account for some 75% of all man-made greenhouse

In 2022, emissions of greenhouse gases generated by economic activities of EU resident units stood at 3.6 billion tonnes of CO 2 equivalents, 22 % lower than in 2008. This article is about emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG emissions) classified by emitting economic activities. Eurostat records and publishes these in annual air emissions
The United States was the country that experienced the largest decline in energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2019 – a fall of 131 Mt, or 2.7%, to 4.8 Gt. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period. A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned
Countries that have announced, pledged, or adopted climate plans to reduce emissions in the coming decades account for over 91 percent of global GDP and around 88 percent of global CO 2 emissions. Additionally, several regions and cities have adopted or pledged more ambitious targets, signaling a willingness to go beyond (supra-) national efforts.
In 2008, EU leaders agreed that by 2020 the EU would cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% from the 1990 level. This goal was achieved three years ahead of schedule. In 2014, leaders endorsed the objective of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030. In December 2020, the European Council agreed to step up the EU's ambition.
