In 2023, Poland was the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in high digital intensive industries, while Malta was the least. Among notable trends, Lithuania experienced a 2.02% increase, indicating potential growth in emissions. In contrast, Malta's emissions decreased dramatically by 15.53%. Other countries with significant declines included the Czech Republic, Austria, and Norway. Meanwhile, Slovenia showed a slight increase, opposing the broader declining trend across Europe as most countries have exhibited reductions in emissions over this period.
Future trends to watch for include the potential increase in emissions in Lithuania and Cyprus. A continued decline is expected in countries like Malta and the Czech Republic. The implementation of stricter environmental regulations and increased adoption of sustainable practices in digital industries may further drive emission reductions across the region.
