According to the projections each country has sent to the UNFCCC Secretariat, 14 countries will reach their targets in 2010. Some of the countries that had reached their targets in 2002 will increase their emissions between 2002-2010, while others like Germany will decrease and reach their target in 2010. The number of countries reaching their targets is pretty stable. Projection data for some of the countries that reached their targets in 2002 are not available. Between 2002 and 2010 the number of countries that must reduce their emissions by more than 20% to reach their target is estimated to increase from 3 to 10.
