Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the European Union rose slightly in 2017, mostly because of the transport sector. This limited increase means that the EU is still expected to achieve its 2020 emissions reduction target, albeit by a narrower margin. The rise is mostly due to the increase of oil consumption from road transport.
