METRIC 2: ABSOLUTE REDUCTION IN ANNUAL GHG EMISSIONS 2010 - 2015 UK = LEADER Source: EFH European Climate Leadership Report 2017 In metric 2, countries with high absolute GHG emissions are in front with absolute reductions. The most reductions were achieved by the UK followed by Italy, France and Germany. While absolute reductions from Greece were mainly due to economic factors, Finland, Denmark and Sweden stand out as countries with already very low levels of absolute emissions which were further reduced significantly.

- 20. EFH CLIMATE LEADERSHIP REPORT – KEY FINDINGS 20 • Germany’s “Energiewende” has made things worse for the climate • Germany is the largest emitter of GHG in Europe (18% of EU-28, EFTA Turkey) • Climate leaders support nuclear energy, alongside renewables • The UK has achieved the largest absolute reduction in GHG emissions from 2010-2015 • Some East European countries have decreased emissions whilst growing their economies • Installed new renewable capacity does not guarantee low CO2 emissions • Fastest low carbon transition has been achieved by expanding nuclear energy CLIMATE LEADERSHIP REPORT

Editor's Notes
- “Energiewende” has made things worse for the climate by shutting down carbon free nuclear capacity and locking in the dependency on coal burning for decades Germany is by far the largest emitter of GHG in Europe (18% of EU-28, EFTA Turkey) Climate leaders are countries with hydro-power resources and strong policies to support nuclear energy, alongside renewables The UK has achieved the largest absolute reduction in GHG emissions from 2010-2015 Some Eastern European countries like Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic, have decreased their high emissions levels significantly in the recent years while growing their economies A high percentage of installed new renewable capacity does not guarantee low CO2 emissions By far the fastest addition of low-carbon electricity per capita in the past has been achieved by expanding nuclear energy
