EU CO2 emissions fell 2% in first half of 2026

Original: # EU EU CO2 emissions fell 2% in first half of 2026, just under half the pace needed to meet the EU’s 2030 climate targe

New analysis from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air finds EU carbon dioxide emissions dropped 2% in the first half of 2026. The rate is just under half the pace needed to meet the bloc's 2030 climate target, prompting concern among climate observers that Europe's emissions cuts remain too slow despite ongoing decarbonisation efforts.

Why now: Fresh data shows the EU is cutting emissions at roughly half the pace required for its 2030 climate goal, raising doubts about whether it will be met.
