EU Not on Track to Meet Kyoto Targets with Current Measures - Transportation the
The EU 15 - the 15 longest-standing members of the European Union - are not on track to meet their target reduction in greenhouse gases of 8% from the 1990 level required under the Kyoto Protocol with current measures, according to a report published this week by the European Environment Agency.According to the report, The European Environment: State and Outlooks 2005, given current trends and measures, the 15 will deliver a reduction in GHG emissions of 1.6% below the 1990 base year levels—a shortfall of 6.4%. The transportation sector, with an increase in greenhouse gas emissions of 24% from 1990 through 2003, is one of the leading impediments to achieving the target.
