Tracking progress towards Europe's climate and energy targets until 2020
EEA Report No 10/2013
This report provides an assessment of the progress of the EU and European countries towards achieving their climate mitigation and energy policy objectives.
These targets include international commitments pursuant the KP and the EU 2020 commitment to reduce by 20 % greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to 1990, to create 20 % of energy consumption from renewables and to increase energy efficiency by 20 %. The assessment is based on GHG data for the period 2008–2012, including recent estimates of proxy 2012 GHG emissions, GHG projections until 2020 submitted by Member States in 2013, as well as energy statistics until 2011.
