European Union
The European Union (EU), headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, is a political and economic union of 27 member states primarily located in Europe. Established in 1993 with the Maastricht Treaty, the EU has evolved to play a crucial role in fostering economic cooperation, promoting peace, and ensuring the free movement of goods, services, and people across its borders. The EU operates in various sectors, including trade, agriculture, and environmental policy, with a focus on creating a single market and implementing common policies. Its unique core services include legislative frameworks, regulatory standards, and funding programmes that support regional development and innovation. Recognised as a significant global player, the EU has achieved notable milestones such as the introduction of the Euro and the establishment of the Schengen Area, reinforcing its position as a leader in international diplomacy and economic integration.

European Union's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, the European Union (EU) has not disclosed specific carbon emissions data in kg CO2e. However, the EU has set ambitious climate commitments aimed at achieving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Notably, the EU aims to reduce its Scope 1 emissions to near zero by 2025 and similarly targets a near-zero reduction for Scope 2 emissions within the same timeframe. These commitments reflect the EU's dedication to addressing climate change and transitioning towards a more sustainable economy. The EU's climate strategy is part of a broader initiative to enhance competitiveness while meeting environmental goals. Although specific emissions figures are not available, the EU's proactive stance on reducing emissions underscores its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions in the near term. The targets are documented in the EU's sustainable finance report, which outlines the framework for these reductions. As of now, there are no cascaded emissions data from parent organizations, indicating that the EU's climate performance is self-reported and directly reflects its own initiatives. The EU continues to play a pivotal role in global climate policy, setting a precedent for other regions to follow.
