National 2013 and 2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) emission limits under the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD), relative to 2005 emissions levels

Each bar represents a national target for greenhouse gas emissions which are covered under the Effort Sharing Decision (i.e. not covered under the EU Emissions Trading System). Targets are annual for the period from 2013 until 2020. The graph represents the 2013 and 2020 targets.

Notes:
- The 2013 targets are based on ESD values for relative 2020 targets and 2013 Commission decisions for absolute 2020 and 2013 targets. To express the 2013 targets in relative terms, absolute values are compared with 2005 base-year emissions, calculated on the basis of relative and absolute 2020 targets.
- The absolute 2020 and 2013 targets used for the calculations are consistent with the IPCC's AR4 global warming values and take into account the change in the scope of the ETS from the second to the third period (2013–2020).
