The EU<\/a> economy\u2019s seasonally adjusted greenhouse gas emissions<\/a> in the fourth quarter of 2025 were estimated at 839 million tonnes of CO2-equivalents<\/a> (CO2-eq), a 0.9% increase compared with the third quarter of 2025 (832 million tonnes of CO2-eq). At the same time, the EU\u2019s gross domestic product<\/a> (GDP) increased by 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with the previous quarter of 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This information comes from data on seasonally adjusted quarterly estimates of greenhouse gas emissions by economic activity<\/a> published by Eurostat today. Quarterly estimates of greenhouse gas emissions complement quarterly socio-economic data, such as GDP or employment.<\/p>\n

This article presents the key findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article on quarterly greenhouse gas emissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The economic sectors with the largest increases in greenhouse gas emissions were electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (+7.2%), transportation and storage (+1.3%) and mining and quarrying (+0.9%), while households (-2.0%) and manufacturing (-0.1%) recorded a decrease.<\/p>\n

Compared with the fourth quarter of 2024, seasonally adjusted emissions went up by 0.4%, while the EU\u2019s seasonally and calendar adjusted GDP increased by 1.5%.<\/p>\n

Greenhouse gas emissions decreased in 7 EU countries\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter of 2025, seasonally adjusted greenhouse gas emissions increased in 19 EU countries and decreased in 7 countries, while they were stable in Germany, compared with the third quarter of 2025.
The largest reductions in greenhouse gases were estimated for Finland (-3.2%), Malta (-2.0%) and Czechia (-0.6%).<\/p>\n

All of the 7 EU countries that had estimated decreases in greenhouse gas emissions (Bulgaria, Czechia, Spain, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia and Finland) recorded an increase in GDP.\u00a0<\/p>\n
