Examples of key findings:
Global fossil CO2 emissions are still rising (+ 23 % with respect to 2005), although not in Europe (- 16 % with respect to 2005).Efforts to reduce emissions are now put forward in a transparent way under the Paris agreement, but verification of their effectiveness will need consistent atmospheric measurements and global tool linking emissions to measurements.

HOW DOES IT WORK?Emissions are calculated using:
- activity data from international statistics (e.g. fuels sold, industrial production, crop production, animals, etc.)
- emission factors (e.g. how much of a certain pollutant is emitted for a certain amount of fuel burnt)
- technologies penetration and abatement measures (e.g. filters on vehicles or on a stack of a power plant, etc.)

WHAT CAN IT BE USED FOR?EDGAR is used as independent verification system in support of:
- control strategies for emission mitigation
- emission trend analysis and projections
- international treaty reporting requirements (e.g. Paris agreement)
- global and regional modelling of atmospheric pollution and climate change
- evaluate current and historical policy impacts at the European and global scales
- track emissions changes in emissions sources, fuels, technologies and abatement measures
Greenhouse gas emissions Mapping emission hot-spots and trends Air pollutant source characterisation
