Despite the positive trend, greenhouse gas emissions in Italy in the last two years continue to grow and reach a total of 413 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2022 (+0.4% compared to 2021). The constant increase in the transport sector is decisive, over 90% of whose emissions come from road transport, which compared to the previous year marks a +5% and confirms a trend that knows no pauses and exceeds 7% since 1990, a value in contrast to those of all other economic sectors which on the contrary recorded marked reductions, with the exception of waste which represents approximately 5% of the national total.
