  • The European Union reduced its emissions by 8% in 2023, marking the largest reduction in decades outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. Collective emissions are 37% lower than 1990 levels, while the economy grew by nearly 70%, keeping the EU on track for a 55% reduction by 2030.
  • The United Kingdom has reduced its emissions by more than half since 1990, largely due to the electricity sector where three-quarters of emissions were eliminated in 12 years. Coal, which provided 40% of electricity in 2012, was completely eliminated from the grid in October 2024, and the country aims for an 80% reduction by 2035.
