EU reduces emissions while growing economy, setting a new standard

Europe achieved an 8% drop in emissions in 2023, reaching 37% below 1990 levels.

This milestone proves that economic growth and sustainability can thrive together, with the EU’s GDP rising 68% since 1990 while emissions continue to drop.

Key drivers of this progress include a decline in coal usage, a surge in renewable energy adoption, and proactive policy frameworks like the European Green Deal.

Germany, Europe’s largest economy, also saw a 3% reduction in emissions in 2024, thanks to expanded renewable energy use and climate policies.

However, sectors like agriculture and transport still face challenges, requiring further innovation and policy adjustments.

The EU remains committed to climate neutrality by 2050, setting ambitious goals to balance environmental responsibility with economic prosperity.
