A report released by the European Union on Monday showed a 4 percent drop in greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 and the green impact of the pandemic will help the EU meet two
of its three 2020 climate targets.
The three targets are: at least 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels, at least 20% share of renewable energy in energy consumption, and 20%
improvement in energy efficiency.
According to the European Environment Agency's EEA report, the first two targets will be achieved by 2020, while the third on energy efficiency is on track to be achieved
.
In 2019, emissions from the European Union (excluding the UK) fell by 4%
year-on-year.
According to the EEA, this is the region's second-largest annual decline since 2009 and reduces the region's total emissions by 24 percent
from 1990 levels.
Meanwhile, preliminary data from the EEA shows that renewables accounted for 19.
4% of EU energy consumption in 2019, close to the target of 20%.
"There are good indications that the 2020 recession significantly reduced overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in 2020, particularly in the transport sector
," the agency said.
”
But while "the share of energy consumed by renewables may have increased," the EEA noted that the impact of the pandemic could be "short-lived.
"
While renewable energy targets are on track across the EU, 14 member states have yet to meet their national targets, including France, Germany and Spain
.
As for the third goal on energy efficiency, which is measured by comparing energy consumption to GDP, the EEA said that in most countries, efforts to meet the 2020 target are "far from enough"
.
Looking beyond 2020, the European Commission aims to reduce Europe's emissions by 55% from 1990 levels by 2030, with the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050
.
The EEA said that while the 2030 and 2050 targets will "require sustained long-term efforts," progress in 2019 shows that "more ambitious long-term goals can be achieved.
