Latvia has an objective to reach climate neutrality by 2050 (see trajectory in Figure 1), with an intermediate 2030 target of a 65 % greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction compared with 1990. Latvia accounts for 0.4 % of the EU's net GHG emissions. As its land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector turned from carbon sink to source, despite improved LULUCF data in 2023, Latvia's net emissions were still 1.5 times above 2005 levels, compared with an average EU reduction of 30.5 % over the same period. Emissions from sectors under the EU emissions trading system (ETS) were reduced by 41.7 %. Emissions under the effort-sharing sectors have remained within the country's allocations; with additional measures, Latvia expects to achieve its 2030 obligation. In September 2023, Latvia proposed a REPowerEU chapter to its recovery and resilience plan, raising climate spending. The European Commission assessed Latvia's 2023 draft updated national energy and climate plan (NECP), giving recommendations. Latvia's submitted its final updated NECP on 15 July 2024. In a 2023 survey, 22 % of Latvians, compared with a 46 % EU average, identified climate change to be one of the four most serious problems facing the world. Most expect national government (43 %) or business and industry (39 %), followed closely by the EU (38 %) to tackle climate change, while 24 % find it to be a personal responsibility. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States.
