| Abstract |
The European Union is actively involved in the fight against climate change by setting national and international goals in the field of environmental protection. An important and globally monitored indicator is Net greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), the reduction of which was enshrined in the Europe 2020 Strategy and is subsequently the subject of the 2030 Agenda. The contribution focuses on the evaluation of the fulfillment of the main climate goal set in the Strategy 2020 and on the analysis of the environmental efficiency of member countries in reducing Net greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The method of distance from a fictitious object was used to evaluate the set climate target, and environmental efficiency was measured in the period 2010-2020 using the DEA method. The chosen methods made it possible to reach the conclusion that up to five countries, such as Ireland, Luxembourg, Cyprus, Spain and Austria, failed to meet the set climate goal by 2020. By means of the DEA method, significant differences in environmental efficiency were detected between countries that joined the EU before and after 2004. Lower environmental efficiency was achieved to a greater extent by countries that joined the EU last. The presented study assumed that countries that did not reach the set goal have low environmental efficiency. However, this turned out to be a false assumption and countries like Ireland and Luxembourg were included among the states with the highest environmental efficiency. The results may indicate that the climate goals at the national level were set too ambitiously in these countries. |
