"The European Union (EU) has announced that its carbon emissions significantly
declined in the final fiscal quarter of 2022, even as its gross domestic
product (GDP) grew. Emissions fell by 4% year-over-year, while GDP increased by
1.5% during the same period.
This is a major milestone for the trading bloc, which has looked to balance
economic growth with its aggressive plan to transition to renewable energy
sources.
Greenhouse gas emissions fell in 23 of the 27 EU member states, with only
Denmark, Ireland, Latvia, and Malta seeing increases. The Netherlands,
Slovakia, and Slovenia posted the biggest drops in emissions while also
managing to boost GDP.
Emissions declined across all EU industry categories except services, mining,
and transportation. The largest decline was in electricity, gas, and steam,
buoyed by a concerted effort to reduce reliance on Russian gas, as well as
unseasonably mild weather."
