The sectoral aggregations are:
Energy supply CRF 1A1 (energy industries) + 1B (fugitives); industry CRF 1A2 (manufacturing industries and construction) + CRF 2
(industrial processes); transport CRF 1.A.3; residential and commercial CRF 1A4a (commercial) + CRF 1A4b (residential); agriculture
CRF 1A4c (agriculture, forestry and fishing) + CRF 3 (agriculture); waste CRF 5 (waste); land use, land use change and forestry CRF 4
(LULUCF).
International aviation, international shipping and CO 2
biomass are memorandum items according to UNFCCC reporting guidelines and
are not included in national GHG totals. International shipping is not included in any targets under the UNFCCC or the Kyoto Protocol.
International aviation is included in the EU’s 2020 and 2030 GHG targets. CO 2
from biomass is reported separately to avoid any
double‐counting of emissions from biomass loss in the LULUCF sector.

and forestry (LULUCF) and including
international aviation declined by
1.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide
equivalent (CO 2
e) between 1990 and
2017. This represents a reduction of
22 % in the past 27 years.
The reduction in total GHG emissions
since 1990 means that the EU remains
on track to meet its 2020 target.
However, according to the latest
projections reported by Member States
(EEA, forthcoming (a)), only the 2020
target is within reach. Significant efforts
will therefore be needed to reach the
2030 target and, even more substantial
efforts, to reach the 2050 objective
(EEA, 2018j).
The EU is the sum of its Member States
and most Member States have reduced
emissions since 1990 (Table 7.3). About
50 % of the EU net-decrease was
accounted for by Germany and the United
Kingdom. The overall net GHG emission
reductions achieved by most Member
States were partly offset by higher GHG
emissions in a few Member States.
On an aggregate level, Figure 7.2 shows
that GHG emissions decreased in the
majority of sectors between 1990 and
2017, with the notable exception of
domestic and international transport.
The largest decrease in emissions in
absolute terms occurred in energy
supply and industry, although
agriculture, residential and commercial
(i.e. buildings), and waste management
have all contributed to the positive
trend in GHG emissions since 1990. The
figure also shows the strong increase
in carbon dioxide (CO 2
) emissions from
