Description: The EU agreed to be net-zero by 2050. Are the 27 member states on track?
Emissions can be shown including or excluding the LULUCF category. The LULUCF category includes carbon emissions and removals from land use, like forests, agriculture, etc. In countries with large forest cover, this category will produce negative emissions, which means storing more greenhouse gases than emitting. In addition to natural sinks, there are also technologies that aim to remove carbon from the atmosphere, often referred to as CCUS (carbon capture, utilisation and storage). Currently, all CCUS pro
Reaching net-zero, which the EU plans to do by 2050, implies not emitting more emissions than are being removed within the EU27 states. This is why the LULUCF category is highly relevant for measuring progress towards net-zero.
Every EU member state must report projected emissions to the EU based on current national and European legislation. This scenario is called “With Existing Measures" (WEM). The most up-to-date scenario considers the climate impact of laws enacted by January 1st, 2022. Countries also report their policies and measures (PaMs) alongside the projected emissions.
