Abstract
Net zero goal lays the foundation for a sustainable future. It is in question to keep global warming under control since at least carbon dioxide emissions are balanced with the net zero target. In order to avoid severe climate impacts, global greenhouse gas emissions should decrease by half by 2030 and reach zero by 2050. Thus, this study aims to measure the performance of European Countries based on carbon emissions. To measure performance, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is used. To use this method, decision-making units (DMUs), inputs, and outputs are determined. Input is identified as Primary Energy Consumption. Outputs are selected as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, and Nitrous Oxide (N2O) emission.
