Global emissions are still increasing worldwide, from 35,21BtCO2 in 2013 to 36,15BtCO2 in 2017. Emissions tend to evolve towards stabilization, but the world is definitely not on-track to meet its agreed target of limiting global warming to 2°C. Under current policies, expected warming will be in te range of 3,1-3,7°C.<ref>Hannah Ritchie and Max Roser, <i>CO2 and Greenhouse Gas Emissions</i>, Our World in Data, 2019. | Global emissions are still increasing worldwide, from 35,21BtCO2 in 2013 to 36,15BtCO2 in 2017.

Nevertheless, according to European Commission, the GHG emissions of all Member States were reduced by 23% between 1990 and 2018; and they might be on-track to reduce furthermore by at least 40% by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050 (2015 Paris Agreement commitment). From 2017 to 2018 for instance, emissions declined by 2%, most significantly in sectors covered by EU ETS.<ref>EU Commission website, Progress made in cutting emissions, 2019. | Nevertheless, according to European Commission, the GHG emissions of all Member States were reduced by 23% between 1990 and 2018; and they might be on-track to reduce furthermore by at least 40% by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050 (2015 Paris Agreement commitment).
