Net greenhouse gas emissions (1990-2022)
The GHG emissions data covers anthropogenic emissions from all economic sectors. Member States follow the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories when estimating emissions and removals of greenhouse gases to ensure transparency, accuracy, comparability, completeness, and consistency in reported data.

Comparability - over time
- Measure description
-
Length of comparable time series without methodological breaks is longer than 4 data points.
Comparability between Member States is one the core reporting principles that the greenhouse gas inventory must adhere to. Consistency over time is another important principle. This means when Member States gain new scientific knowledge that cause a change of an estimate, then the Member State needs to recalculate the full time series back to 1990 using this knowledge, if applicable.

- Statement
-
This indicator is based on the official GHG inventories submitted by the EEA countries to the EEA under the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999. The EU GHG inventory submitted by the EU to the UNFCCC is based on the same data.
Note: 1990-2021 comes from the National emissions reported to the UNFCCC and to the EU Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism and 2022 data comes from the Approximated estimates for greenhouse gas emissions.
