Member States' greenhouse gas (GHG) emission projections, 2025
The Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action ((EU) 2018/1999) requires Member States to report national projections of anthropogenic GHG emissions. Every two years, it is mandatory for EU Member States to report their GHG projections by gas (or group of gases) and by sector. On non-mandatory years, Member States are to report if there have been significant changes to their data. National projections shall take into consideration any policies and measures adopted at Union level. The reported data are quality checked by the EEA and its European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME). The 2025 dataset contains data up to year 2055.

Data reported by the EU Member States (MS) under the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (EU) 2018/1999 (Governance Regulation) have been quality checked and adjusted if appropriate by the European Topic Centre Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME).
GHG projections data are presented per MS, year, scenario, category, and gas. There are originally reported data and final (corrected or gap-filled when necessary) data. Two types of projections are presented: projections taking into account the (current) existing domestic policies and measures (WEM, with existing measures) and projections taking also into account additional (planned) domestic policies and measures (WAM, with additional measures).
As 2025 is a mandatory year, the dataset contains data for all EU Member States.
The detailed methodology used for the quality assurance and quality control procedure for national and Union GHG projections is outlined a report which can be downloaded from: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/reportnet/docs/govreg/projections.

Data reported by the EU Member States (MS) under the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 have been quality checked and adjusted if appropriate by the European Topic Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (ETC/CME).
Every two years, MS shall report to the Commission national projections of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks, organised by gas or group of gases (HFCs and PFCs) and by sector. Those projections shall include quantitative estimates for a sequence of six future years ending with 0 or 5 immediately following the reporting year. National projections shall take into consideration any policies and measures adopted at Union level. During voluntary years, MS are to report projections if they have experienced significant changes.
GHG projections data are presented per MS, year, scenario, category and gas. There are originally reported data and final (corrected or gap-filled when necessary) data. Two types of projections are presented: projections taking into account the (current) existing domestic policies and measures (WEM, with existing measures) and projections also taking into account additional (planned) domestic policies and measures (WAM, with additional measures).
Domestic policies and measures are those taking place within national boundaries. Existing policies and measures are those for which one or more of the following applies: a) national legislation is in force; b) one or more voluntary agreements have been established; c) financial resources have been allocated; d) human resources have been mobilised; e) an official government decision has been made and there is a clear commitment to proceed with implementation. Additional (planned) policies and measures are options under discussion with a realistic chance of being adopted and implemented in time to influence the emissions during the commitment period.
The detailed methodology used for the quality assurance and quality control procedure for national and Union GHG projections is outlined in a report and can be downloaded here: https://www.eionet.europa.eu/reportnet/docs/govreg/projections.
