Eurostat reports on Cyprus's greenhouse gas emissions and long-term energy intensity

According to Eurostat, Cyprus achieved a 5.2% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the second quarter, ranking third in the EU. During the same period, EU-wide emissions increased by 1.1% to 828 million tonnes of CO2-equivalents, while the GDP grew by 0.4%. For the broader period of 2014-2023, Cyprus recorded a 23.2% decrease in the energy intensity of its gross value added. In 2023, total EU net domestic energy consumption reached 56.1 million terajoules, a 4.1% decline from 2022. While sectors like manufacturing and energy supply reduced their consumption, the transport and storage sector saw an 8.1% increase. Only ten EU member states, including Cyprus, managed to reduce emissions in late 2025 despite stable or growing GDP. Estonia and Slovenia led the quarterly emission reductions with decreases of 17.4% and 5.7%, respectively. At the EU level, households and manufacturing saw emission increases of 3.6% and 1.4% respectively during the third quarter of 2025.
