    Overall target: "at least -40% domestic GHG emissions reduction vs 1990"

    Further targets

    -

    • limiting global warming to well below 2°C.;
    • every 5 years to set more ambitious targets as required by science;
    • report on implementation/ track progress towards the long-term goal through a robust transparency and accountability system.

    • balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century

    Renewable Energy Directive: 20% share of renewable energy of gross final energy consumption;

    At least 27% share of renewable energy in EU energy consumption;

    Energy Efficiency Directive : Increase energy efficiency by 20 %

    At least 27% improvement in energy efficiency (to be reviewed by 2020, having in mind an EU level of 30%) 1

    Included

    Excluded

    Included:
    July 2016, the Commission launched a proposal for a regulation on the inclusion of GHG emissions and removals from LULUCF into the 2030 climate and enegy framework (COM/2016/0479 final) and the rules of its inclusion as of 2021. The proposal includes a "no debit rule", i.e. emissions from LULUCF must be compensated by carbon uptake after specified rules.

    Numbers express the average annual values based on values reported during 2013-2015. For FM, estimates consider information on technical corrections to Forest Management Reference Levels and the impact of the cap.

    AR, D and FM are mandatory activities under the KP. Grey cells indicate the voluntary elected activities.

    Under 529/2013, some MS did not report yet complete information on CM and GM. Specifically, information on CM and GM is missing in BG, CY, FR, HU, MT and SI; CZ and ES did not provide information on the base year for GM. Grey cells are already reported under the KP.

    Source: The figures represent climate finance sources from public budgets and other development financial institutions as reported by Member States under Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of 21 May 2013. They also include EUR 2.7 billion climate finance from the EU Budget and the European Development Fund, and EUR 1.9 billion from European Investment Bank.

     On 30 November 2016 the Commission proposed an update to the Energy Efficiency Directive  including a new 30% energy efficiency target for 2030. The proposal is under consideration in the Council and the European Parliament.

    Member States that do not use their 3 % limit for the use of international credits in any specific year can transfer the unused part of their limit to another Member State or bank it for their own use until 2020. Member States fulfilling additional criteria (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden) may use credits from projects in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) up to an additional 1 % of their verified emissions in 2005. These credits are not bankable and transferable. A maximum of approximately 750 Mt of international credits can be used during the period from 2013 to 2020 in the ESD.

    In addition to the 28 MS, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are also covered under the EU-ETS.

    Emissions data used are national totals (including international aviation).

    (12)

    Numbers show tonnes CO2-eq. per capita in 2016.

    (13)

    Emissions data used are national totals (including international aviation). Population data used are 'average population – total'.

    (14)

    Emissions from international aviation is covered by the EU Climate and Energy Package, but not by the obligation under the Kyoto Protocol.

    The relative gap to target is calculated as follows: (emissions year x) – (ESD target year x). Negative values indicate over-delivery while positive values indicate shortfall towards ESD target.
