European Union transportation sector carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions increased by 7.6 percent in 2022. This was the second-largest annual increase in EU transportation-related emissions between 1990 and 2022. The largest annual increase during this period occurred in 2021, when emissions rebounded sharply from the dramatic reductions observed in 2020. That latter year saw EU transportation emissions plummet almost 20 percent from 2019 levels, owing to the outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent travel restrictions. Since 1990, EU transportation emissions have fallen just five times year-on-year.
