- Data from December 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables.
This article is part of a set of statistical articles based on the Eurostat publication Smarter, greener, more inclusive? - Indicators to support the Europe 2020 strategy. It provides recent statistics on the Europe 2020 strategy of the European Union (EU), focusing on the situation in Estonia.
Main statistical findings
By 2012 Estonia had decreased its GHG emissions by 0.1 % and increased its share of renewables in gross final energy consumption to 25.8 %, thus exceeding two of its climate change and energy targets. In 2013, Estonia also exceeded its target on tertiary education by 3.7 percentage points, and was close to reaching its national target on early leavers from education and training. It was also closer to its national employment target than the EU average but lagged behind in terms of R & D expenditure. Since 2010 the country has experienced a gradual increase in the share of the population living at risk of poverty after social transfers, which has moved Estonia further away from its national target of 15 %.
