What climate action? Malta’s alarming rise in greenhouse gas emissions

What climate action? Malta’s alarming rise in greenhouse gas emissions

Malta is once again at the top of the list of a troubling trend: the fastest rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the European Union. According to Eurostat, Malta’s GHG emissions surged by 8.8% from the first quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of 2024.  The EU carbon emissions reduction target is -55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.

The recent news about Malta’s rising GHG emissions begs the question: how on earth does the government envision we reach that target in the coming 5 years?
