Annual progress report on EU climate action: Starting the journey to a climate-neutral Europe by 2050

The EU commission publishes the Annual Progress Report on Climate Action which looks at the EU’s progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in 2019. Greenhouse gas emissions in the EU-27 decreased by 3.7% year-on-year, while GDP grew by 1.5%. Emissions have now been reduced by 24% compared to 1990 levels. The EU therefore remains on track to achieve its target under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reduce GHG emissions by 20% by 2020.
