Greenhouse gas emissions for international shipping in the European Union were 129 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2021. EU GHG emissions from international navigation are projected to rise to almost 150 MtCO₂e by 2050, under both 'with existing measures' (WEM) and 'with additional measures' (WAM) scenarios.
Projected greenhouse gas emissions for international navigation in the European Union (EU-27) from 2010 to 2050, by scenario
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
WEM scenario: The 'with existing measures' (WEM) scenario is a baseline scenario which reflects the effects of all existing, adopted and implemented, policies and measures at the time the projections were prepared.
WAM scenario: The 'with additional measures' (WAM) scenario takes into account the measures that were at the planning stage at the time the projections were prepared and will be implemented in the future. Not all countries provide this scenario.
