Methodological note

The indicator measures total national emissions (from both ESD and ETS sectors) including international aviation of the so called ‘Kyoto basket' of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and the so-called F-gases (hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, nitrogen triflouride (NF3) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)) from all sectors of the GHG emission inventories (including international aviation, excluding land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF)). Using each gas' individual global warming potential (GWP), they are being integrated into a single indicator expressed in units of CO2 equivalents. The GHG emission inventories are submitted annually by the EU Member States to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The data in the whole time series are revised annually
