The large decline in emissions, achieved before the COVID-19 crisis, was mainly due to reduced coal use for power generation. The official data, submitted on behalf of the EU to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), show that EU Member States managed to reduce collectively their emissions by 3.8%
