The EU is taking action to drastically reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) as they are associated with climate change.

Key Points: 
  • The EU is taking action to drastically reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) as they are associated with climate change.
  • The best-known greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2) but others, present in a smaller quantity in the atmosphere, may have a bigger warming effect.
  • Greenhouse gases act similarly to the glass in a greenhouse: they absorb the sun’s heat that radiates from the Earth’s surface, trap it in the atmosphere and prevent it from escaping into space.
  • The greenhouse effect keeps the Earth’s temperature warmer than it would otherwise be, supporting life on Earth.
  • Many greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, but human activity contributes to their accumulation.
  • Check out more * *facts and figures about climate change There are different types of greenhouse gases and their global warming potential varies.
  • Fluorinated greenhouse gases * (F-gases)* are man-made gases used in industry and they have a high global warming potential, often several thousand times stronger than CO2.
  • As greenhouse gases have different global warming potential, their impact is typically converted into a CO2 equivalent to make comparisons meaningful.
  • CO2 represented almost 80% of the volume of all greenhouse gases emissions in the EU in 2021, followed by methane with more than 12%.
