Description GHG emissions decreased in the majority of sectors in the EU between 1990 and 2017, with the exception of transport and especially aviation. The largest decrease in emissions in absolute terms occurred in energy supply and industry, although agriculture, residential and commercial (i.e. buildings), and waste management have all contributed to the positive trend in GHG emissions since 1990. Total GHG emissions were down on average 1% per year. According to the GREEN DEAL, the EU will 1.) aim to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, 2.) has the ambition for 2030, to achieve a 55% cut in GHG emissions using 1990 as baseline. Aviation is far from this target as emissions increased over the years. This means that as of 2021, a 84% reduction is necessary be achieved by 2030. Aviations GHG share among the transport sector has gone up from 9% in 1990 to over 16% in 2017.
