Abstract
This paper analyses data from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) on greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is to identify the sectors that contribute
most to climate change, assess their effectiveness in implementing emission reduction policies, and
achieve sustainable development goals. Based on the analysis, it is clear that the energy, transport,
and industrial processes sectors are key in the context of sensitivity to EU climate policies. In
contrast, the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry sector stands out as offering unique
opportunities for mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration activities and thereby
achieving climate neutrality.
