Indicador ODS Indicator 13.20 from the EU Sustainable Development Goals

Last update: March 17, 2025.

Methodological note

The indicator is calculated as the ratio between energy-related GHG emissions and gross inland consumption of energy. It expresses how many tonnes CO2 equivalents of energy-related GHGs are being emitted in a certain economy per unit of energy that is being consumed. The data on energy emissions are being sourced from the GHG emissions reported to the UNFCCC.

The data in the whole time series are revised annually.
