The Effort Sharing legislation covers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from domestic transport, buildings, agriculture, small industry and waste, and accounts for more than 60 % of total EU GHG emissions. For the period 2013-2020, the Effort Sharing Decision established annual greenhouse gas emission targets for Member States, using global warming potentials (GWPs) from the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the

Approximated estimates for greenhouse gas emissions
The Governance Regulation ((EU) 2018/1999) requires Member States to annually report approximated greenhouse gas inventories by 31 July. A Union approximated greenhouse gas inventory is annually compiled on the basis of the Member States’ approximated greenhouse gas inventories or, if a Member State has not communicated its approximated inventories by that date, on the basis of own estimates.
[EU SDG 13_10] Net greenhouse gas emissions
This indicator considers past emissions trends in Europe and indicates the progress of the EU towards its international and internal GHG targets. Total net emissions include emissions from LULUCF.
Member States' greenhouse gas (GHG) emission projections
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, each EU Member State shall report GHG projections in a ‘with existing measures’ scenario for the years 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045 and 2050 by gas (or group of gases) and by sector. 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).
