Source: Eurostat 2020 indicators (Extraction date: 06/06/2016), Europe 2020 Targets by the Commission, 2016 Country Reports. This table includes all the newest available figures.n.n.t. = no national target.
1
The EU as a whole aims to reduce GHG emissions by 20 % compared to 1990 levels; hence the index for EU28 uses 1990 as its base year. The Member State targets, set out in the Commission Decision 406/2009, covering only sectors not included
in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), are relative to 2005 levels. Thus the index for emissions from these sectors uses 2005 as its base year. Moreover, these national targets are presented in terms of an index rather than percentage deviation
from the 2005 target as specified in the above-mentioned Commission Decision. By 2020, the national targets will collectively deliver a reduction of around 10 % in total EU emissions from the non-EU ETS sectors and a 21 % reduction in emissions
for the sectors covered by the EU ETS (both compared to 2005 levels). This will accomplish the overall emission reduction goal of a 20 % cut below 1990 levels by 2020.
2
Member States have set indicative national targets based on different indicators translated into absolute levels of primary energy consumption in million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe).
3
Note that there is a break in the time series in 2014.
4
Most of the Member States have set national targets based on a reduction in the number of people living in poverty or social exclusions (in most cases compared to 2008 levels); some Member States - whose target is not included in this column have set national targets based on different indicators related to the reduction in poverty/social exclusion (e.g. reduction in long-term unemployment for Germany, reduction in the at risk poverty rate after social transfers for Estonia).
