The European Union continues to cut greenhouse gas emissions at a steady pace, driven by cleaner energy, improved efficiency, and long-term policy efforts. New figures highlight both the scale of progress so far and the challenges that remain as the bloc moves toward its 2050 climate neutrality goal.
When it comes to environmental protection, the European Union (EU) stands among the world's leading regions, with a long track record of ambitious climate and energy policies. Greenhouse gas emissions from those countries that today make up the EU peaked during the late 1970s and have followed a broadly downward trend ever since.
Now, the bloc has recorded another significant drop, with a 3% decline between 2023 and 2024. This latest fall brings total reductions to 40% below 1990 levels, according to new data analysed by the European Environment Agency and submitted to the United Nations.
