The study deals with decomposition-based analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in European Union (EU) Member States (MS). The policies shaping the trends in GHG emissions across the EU MS are analysed. The decomposition of GHG emissions is performed based on the Kaya identity approach. The Kaya identity is defined as an equation relating factors of the economic activity to the level of human impact on the climate change, as represented by the emissions of the greenhouse gas. In particular, carbon dioxide emission is the main component of the emission.

Though the essence of sustainable development is quite clear but the exact definition of sustainable development concept is still under discussions. There are more than 70 definitions of sustainable development that can be found in economic literature and which are mostly orientated to specific sectors for example nature, economics, civilization and expressing quite different aspects of sustainable development concept. Nevertheless the most appropriate definition conveying the idea of sustainable development is formulated in the communication of Brundtland commission (Brundtlan, 1987). Streimikiene, D. 2017.
