CYPRadar 🇨🇾🌦️ Cyprus greenhouse gas emissions rise 10.7% over last decade, bucking EU downward trend
Greenhouse gas emissions in Cyprus increased by 10.7% between 2015 and 2025, according to Eurostat early estimates, placing the country among a small number of EU nations with rising emissions. This contrasts sharply with the overall EU reduction of 17.2% during the same period, as most member states managed to decrease their greenhouse gas output.
The EU recorded total emissions of 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2025, down from 2015 levels. While 23 EU countries lowered their emissions, only Cyprus, Malta, Lithuania, and Romania saw increases. Notably, Malta's emissions surged by 169.4%, while Lithuania and Romania rose by 9.5% and 5.4% respectively.
Sector-wise, emissions fell significantly across most areas in the EU, notably in energy (-45.3%), mining (-33.3%), manufacturing (-16%), and households (-14.7%). However, construction and transportation sectors bucked the trend, increasing emissions by 11.4% and 10.9%, respectively. Despite these emission changes, the EU economy grew by 17.5%, highlighting how GDP growth can occur alongside emission reductions in most member states.
