Greenhouse gas emissions in Italy. Reduction targets for 2030
The report describes the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in Italy, based on the data officially transmitted in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action of the European Union.
Following the 2020 compliance of the emissions reduction target agreed for the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, the 2030 climate-energy framework came into force in 2021, an ambitious number of measures that the EU has revised with the Fit for 55 package. Particularly significant emissions reduction targets have been fixed for the Union European Union and its Member States, with a consequent notable annual reporting to be carried out, to comply with these obligations.
The report analyses the Italian GHG emissions and removals trends, focussing on the key emitting sectors, based on the historical data available since 1990, highlighting the trends and identifying the main drivers for the emissions.
The report also describes the annual emissions and removals compared to the emissions reduction target of the Effort Sharing Regulation and the objectives deriving from the LULUCF Regulation.
