Greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-27, the EU-15 and in new Member States, 1990-2005

12 Nov 2009

Index 100 = base year level (EU-15) or 1990 levels (EU-27, new Member States)

Exceedance days are defined as days with black smoke (BS) 24-hour average concentrations above 125 ?g/m 3 ; Total Suspended Particles (TSP) 24-hour average above 120 ?g/m 3 ; PM10 24-hour average above 50 ?g/m

Actual and projected EU-15 greenhouse gas emissions compared with Kyoto target for 2008-2012, including Kyoto mechanisms

12 Nov 2009

Target paths are used to analyse how close 2003 emissions were to a (hypothetical) linear path of emission reductions or allowed increases from the base-year to the Kyoto Protocol target, assuming domestic policies and measures as well as use of Kyoto mechanisms
