“…The Sixth Assessment Report of IPCC shows that to limit this increase, immediate measures must be implemented [7][8][9][10]. According to [11,12], natural sinks contribute to removing some GHG from the atmosphere. However, when the GHG volume is high, these gases remain and accumulate for decades or even hundreds of years (like in the case of CO 2 ).…”

“…However, when the GHG volume is high, these gases remain and accumulate for decades or even hundreds of years (like in the case of CO 2 ). Therefore, conditions to stimulate the natural sinks' activity must be created, and artificial sinks should be designed to balance the GHG's effect [12][13][14]. The experimental results show that people's constant exposure to CO 2 may harm their health [15][16][17][18][19].…”

In recent decades, an increase in the earth’s atmospheric temperature has been noticed due to the augmentation of the volume of gases with the greenhouse effect (GHG) released into the atmosphere. To reduce this effect, the European Union’s directives indicate the action directions for reducing these emissions, among which carbon dioxide (CO2) recorded the highest amount. In this context, the article analyzes the CO2 series reported in 1990–2021 by 30 European countries. The Kruskal-Wallis test rejected the hypothesis that the series comes from the same underlying distribution. The Anderson-Darling test rejected the normality hypothesis for seven series out of thirty, and Sen’s procedure found a decreasing trend slope only for 17 series. ARIMA models have been built for all individual series. Grouping the series (by the k-means and hierarchical clustering) provided the base for building the Regional series (RegS), which describes the CO2 pollution evolution over Europe. The advantage of this approach is to provide the synthetic image of the regional evolution of the CO2 emission volume (mt), incorporating information from 30 series (one for each country) in only one—RegS. It is also shown that selecting the number of clusters involved in building RegS and assessing their stability is essential for the model’s goodness of fit.

“…Still, the others (CO 2 , N 2 O, CFCs, HCFCs, PFCs, SF6) can last in the atmosphere for several hundred years, contributing to global temperature increase [ 9 ]. Therefore, the GHG emissions must be controlled, and conditions to stimulate their removal through natural sinks (or artificially designed sinks) must be created [ 3 ].…”

Nowadays, climate change and atmospheric pollution are two of humanity's most significant challenges. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are responsible for climate change, and they create effects that are mostly irreversible. Therefore, monitoring and reducing such emissions are compulsory for the preservation of the environment for future generations. The European Union took action in this direction. The article presents the evolution of the total GHGs trend, from 1990 to 2021, in the EU countries and their associates. Trend analysis and grouping of the countries using different clustering techniques are performed. The analysis of the existence of greenhouse gases (GHGs) series’ trend, in 30 countries from Europe, showed that the GHG emissions decreased from 1990 to 2021 in only 17 countries. The annual series, built using the data reported by each country each year, does not present a specific trend. After grouping the countries in clusters by k-means and hierarchical clustering, the representative series for the annual recorded values in the 30 studied countries, called Regional series (RegS), is built using series selected from the cluster with the highest number of elements. The same algorithm provides the Representative Temporal series (TempS), which selects specific years after clustering the annual GHG series.
