Greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU-27) were estimated at 787 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in Q3 2023 - a decrease of seven percent from the same quarter in 2022. Quarterly GHG emissions have followed a similar pattern since 2010, with Q3 typically recording the lowest emissions each year. The notable exception to this was in 2020, when COVID-19-related restrictions caused emissions in Q2 of that year to plummet 19 percent compared to Q2 2019 levels.
