Overview
By 2017, Czechia had increased its ESD GHG emissions by 3.8 % compared with the ESD base year, thus remaining within the national GHG emissions target to limit increases to 9 % by 2020. In 2017, the country had already met its national target on renewable energy and the 5.1 % decrease in primary energy consumption in the period 2008 to 2017 brought Czechia very close to its national target. In 2018, Czechia exceeded its national targets on employment and tertiary educational attainment by 4.9 and 1.7 percentage points, respectively. The significant reduction in the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion between 2008 and 2018 helped the country surpass its national target to lift 100 000 people out of being at risk of poverty or social exclusion compared with 2008 levels. An increase in the share of early school leavers between 2008 and 2018 widened the distance to the national target to 0.7 percentage points.
