This table provides metadata for the proxy data used (closest to the UN SDG indicator) to report on the progress towards achieving the SDG Target. Please note that even when data for the actual UN SDG indicator is fully available, this table should still be consulted for any additional specific metadata information.

Method of computation
  1. CO2 emissions from economic activities were sourced from Air Emissions Accounts 2022 compiled by NSO. The data excludes emissions from households.
  2. GDP in chain-linked volumes (€’000) for 2010-2022 is sourced from NSO News Release 159/2024. The chain-linked volume indices have been re-referenced to 2020=100.
