EMISSIONS: Western Balkan States Lack Efforts to Reach EU 2030 Climate Goals

EMISSIONS

Joint Research Centre said that the GHG emissions trend for the six Western Balkans economies does not correspond to the emission reduction rate needed to reach the EU’s 2030 climate goals.

  • The six economies have made progress in aligning with EU climate legislation, but coal-fired power plants continue to be the primary source of stagnating emissions trend.
  • It requires an average annual emissions reduction rate in the period 2020-2030 of around 3% for the region to meet the EU targets.
