The European Environment Agency (EEA) reported an 8% fall in EU-wide emissions in 2023, highlighting a significant decline in fossil fuel usage and an increase in renewable energy access.
The EEA indicated that total net greenhouse gas emissions for 2023 decreased to 37% below 1990 levels, a result of reduced energy consumption and the dominance of renewables.
According to the European Commission, the EU remains on track to reach a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030, indicating a decoupling of emissions from economic growth.
The EEA stated that the drop was the largest annual decline in decades, with a crucial increase in renewable energy in electricity generation leading the way.
