Poland will cut emissions much further. Renewables are finally on par with coal in the energy grid.

Really great to see. Proves that progress doesn’t automatically mean increased emissions. And yes, I’m aware Europe has outsourced a lot of its emissions to China and other manufacturing countries.

Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia also greatly depopulized over that time span.

CYPRUS NUMBER ONE BABYYYYYY 🎉💪🇨🇾🎉💪🇨🇾🎉💪🇨🇾🎉💪🇨🇾🎉💪🇨🇾🎉💪🇨🇾🎉💪🇨🇾🎉💪🇨🇾
WHAT THE FUCK IS A CLEAN AIR????? 🐐🚗🌯🐐🚗🌯🐐🚗🌯🐐🚗🌯🐐🚗🌯🐐🚗🌯🐐🚗🌯
This site claims no change in Cyprus.
The population has grown almost 60% since 1990.
Plus a lot more torurism requiring transportation.

Found the GHG emissions report, I was mostly curious about Iceland, as I am from there, the most obvious explanaition is the population in 1990 vs 2023 as it increased by 39%. I also see that Cyprus population increased by 58%, and that Estonia had a population decrease of 18%.

Good now i hope everyone will stop saying we are this utopian country that emits very little, we still polluting alot alot

Moving production to Asia, no surprise.

Estonia may seem positive, but the decrease comes almost entirely from the collapse of the oil shale electricity exports to the USSR. Taking a more objective baseline of 1997 would show very little progress, as oil shale burning has been replaced by shale oil industry that exports fuels to the maritime sector.

Because of deindustralization. Shipping critical manufacturing to Asia. Very bad.

Yes because our industry imploded not because we are so green… and the old eastern block / ex-soviet republics have the biggest decrease because they had a lot of heavy industry with large emissions and it went all belly up after the fall of socialism.
Reality is much worse than what this graph is showing.

Estonia fell really a lot because after the Soviet dissolution a lot of industries were privatized, closed and the economy collapsed. Same for Latvia.
But it’s true that one of the issues of USSR was that especially in some areas the Co2 emissions were too high. Estonia had 1.6 million people in 1990 but almost 50 million Co2 tons or so.

Suprised by Iceland. Aren’t they getting huge amounts of geothermal energy?

Wonder how much of that reduction is usually because more efficient processes or cleaner methods, instead of just reduction because industries close/produce less output
For example, I know a region where the greenhouse gas emissions almost fell 90% in 10 years and everybody celebrated… in that span, the main industry of the region had closed their doors
A really weird _celebration_ indeed

Ireland is interesting number is interesting. super massive growth including rise in population from 3.5 to over 5.1 milion!

Cyprus, get a grip.
WTF is going on with Cyprus?

emissions mostly from agriculture.
Damn, thats really great news.
