In the fourth quarter of 2024, the EU economy greenhouse gas emissions were estimated at 897 million tonnes of CO2-equivalents (CO2-eq), a 2.2% increase compared with the same quarter of 2023 (878 million tonnes of CO2-eq). The EU's gross domestic product (GDP) registered a 1.5% increase in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared with the same quarter of 2023, reported WAM. This information comes from data on quarterly estimates for greenhouse gas emissions by economic activity published by Eurostat today. Quarterly estimates of greenhouse gas emissions complement quarterly socio-economic data, such as GDP or employment. This article presents the key findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article on quarterly greenhouse gas emissions. The 2 economic sectors responsible for the largest increases between the quarters were households (+5.2%) and electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (+4.6%). In the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions was estimated for 6 EU countries when compared with the same quarter of 2023. The largest reductions in greenhouse gases were estimated for Estonia (-11.3%), Finland (-6.1%) and Sweden (-2.3%). Out of those 6 EU countries, 2 also recorded a decline in their GDP (Latvia and Austria). The other 4 EU countries (Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Luxembourg) were estimated to have decreased emissions while growing their GDP.

Sheikh Ahmed added that the emergence of successful global aviation entities from Dubai, such as Emirates Airline and dnata, was not a coincidence, but rather the result of a forward-looking vision, systematic planning, and integrated institutional support, making Dubai's aviation sector a global force thanks to the wise leadership's vision and the coordinated efforts of Dubai's institutions and their partners at local and international levels. He explained that when the Government of Dubai established Emirates Airline 40 years ago and began developing dnata's capabilities to support the city's growth plans, the mission was clear: to be the best at what they do, delivering real value to Dubai, its shareholders, and the communities they serve. He said, 'With this in mind, we have remained committed to a business model based on operational excellence, continuous investment in technology and human capital, and providing products and services that deliver real value to customers and markets we serve. These principles, along with Dubai's supportive environment, have provided a strong foundation for Emirates Group, enabling it to maintain its competitiveness and resilience in the face of various geopolitical and economic challenges over the past decades. We do not pursue short-term gains at the expense of business sustainability but continue building with a calculated approach to ensure long-term impact, reflecting our responsibility towards our employees, partners, and the communities we operate in.' He added that the strong performance achieved by the Group this year reflects a clear commitment to a defined path, driven by the efficiency of its teams, which formed the basis for another exceptional year of record results, the trust of its customers and partners, and its continuous investment in a sustainable and innovative business model. The Group will continue to build on these achievements to support Dubai's and the UAE's strategic goals. Sheikh Ahmed stressed that the Emirates Group achieved new record results in the financial year 2024-2025 in terms of profit, revenue, and cash balances, reflecting the efficiency and resilience of its operating model in responding to market changes. Emirates Airline and dnata successfully met the growing demand for air transport services across various markets, supported by continuous investments in human capital, enhanced partnerships, and the development of products and services that meet customer expectations, consolidating their leadership in the industry.
