Energy sector drives EU emissions cuts as Cyprus follows downward trend

Greenhouse gas emissions across the EU fell again, with Cyprus recording a sharp reduction in emissions relative to economic output, according to new Eurostat data.

Specifically, Eurostat reported on Friday that the EU economy recorded 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalents in greenhouse gas emissions in 2024.

This marked a 1 per cent decline compared with 2023 and a 20 per cent reduction compared with 2013, reflecting longer-term structural changes across the bloc.
