EUROPEAN CO2 EMISSIONS

The EU-15 has a Kyoto target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 8% on 1990 levels by 2012, the EU-10 (post 2004 members) do not have a common target. This chart shows the EU-nations and their individual targets.

Notes:
- Amounts are in megaton(Mt). One megaton is a billion kilograms.
- Data available until 6 June 2006 is included. No reporting requirement over 2005.






*) Growth in emissions is expected due to rapid growth of Eastern EU-economies.
