Greenhouse gas emissions: possible 55% reduction by 2030
May 21, 2026Italy’s net emissions reduction by 2030 could be in line with the European Union’s 55% target.
This is highlighted in the ISPRA Report “Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Italy: Reduction Targets and Emission Scenarios”, which outlines the progress made by the country eleven years after the Paris Agreement and identifies the strategic levers needed to strengthen the decarbonization pathway.
The Report shows that the ETS (Emission Trading System), supported by the growth of renewable energy sources and industrial innovation, is already following a trajectory consistent with European objectives. Projections indicate an emissions reduction ranging from 60% to 69% in the energy and industrial sectors covered by the European carbon market.
