Total GHG emissions, including removals from the LULUCF sector, amounted to 29 409.53 Gg CO₂ eq. in 2020 and decreased by more than 54% compared to the base year 1990 (64 055.38 Gg CO₂ eq.). Total carbon removals in forest ecosystems in the Slovak Republic shows high fluctuations due to the sensitivity of the LULUCF sector to meteorological conditions and weather extremes.

In October 2020, Japan declared "Carbon Neutral by 2050" based on the goals set in the Paris Agreement (continued efforts to limit the global temperature rise to well below 2C and further limit it to 1.5C). Did. In addition, more and more local governments are announcing zero carbon cities aiming to become carbon neutral by 2050. In addition, with the progress of ESG finance, the number of companies working on "decarbonized management" such as information disclosure and target setting related to climate change is increasing, and it is spreading to local companies through the supply chain. In response to this situation, the "Review Committee on the Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures" was held from October to December 2020 to discuss the direction of future institutional responses to further promote global warming countermeasures.

Introduction Climate change is related to human survival and development. Human activities since the industrial revolution, especially the cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide produced by the massive consumption of fossil energy in developed countries, are the main cause of global climate change, which has brought serious consequences to the global ecosystem security and economic and social development, especially in developing countries. Great threat. Responding to climate change is a common cause of mankind. It requires the international community to unite and cooperate to deal with it under the framework of sustainable development, adhere to the path of green and low-carbon development, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and jointly build a clean and beautiful earth home. The global spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020 has once again warned us that in the face of major infectious diseases, climate change and other common challenges of non-traditional security, human beings need a self-revolution, and all countries in the world must maintain unity and cooperation. The Paris Agreement adopted by the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (hereinafter referred to as the Convention) in 2015 established the goal of controlling global temperature rise to less than 2C above pre-industrial levels and striving to control The long-term goal of being within 1.5C defines the long-term vision and institutional arrangements for the global response to climate change, and defines the general direction of the future green and low-carbon transformation, which requires countries to work together to implement it. China has made historic and fundamental contributions to the conclusion, entry into force and implementation of the Paris Agreement, and actively promoted the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in international shipping and aviation, which has been widely recognized and highly appreciated by the international community. In 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power by the middle of this century, which laid the main tone for the formulation of China's long-term low-emission development strategy.

As we are preparing the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, which will also include actions to get the maritime sector on track to net zero, we continue to implement the commitments in Clean Maritime Plan, building on the government's ambitious vision for the future of UK zero emission shipping. This includes the launch of a £20 million Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, which will support the UK design and development of clean maritime technology, including hydrogen, and will lay the foundation for a network of real-world projects. We have established the Jet Zero Council to accelerate the development and adoption of new technologies to help develop our strategy to reach net zero aviation, along with investing £15 million into FlyZero as well as running a £15 million competition to support the production of sustainable aviation fuels in the UK. As we decarbonise across transport, energy requirements will change in many sectors, from trains, to boats and planes. This will create new demands on our energy systems. Accelerating the shift to zero emission vehicles could support around 40,000 new jobs by 2030. More details on ensuring all modes of transport are on a pathway to net zero will be set out in the forthcoming Transport Decarbonisation Plan.

Carbon neutrality by 2050 is economically and technologically feasible and is based on a reduction in emissions of between 85% and 90% by 2050, compared with 2005, and offsetting the remaining emissions through a carbon sink provided by land use and forests. The trajectory to neutrality allows the anticipation of greenhouse gas emission reductions of between -45% and -55% by 2030 and between -65% and -75% by 2040, compared to 2005.

I Within the scope of the Climate Change Action Plan, we are preparing a road map that covers all sectors and identifies our short, medium and long-term tar- gets for combating climate change. Our aim in preparing this action plan that foresees year 2023, is to integrate Turkey's future development and environ- mental plans and to proceed seamlessly, and without losing pace. $ S W n t- Turkey's Ninth Development Plan (2007-2013) states that Within the scope of Turkey's circumstances, a National Action Plan setting greenhouse gas emis- sion decrease policies and measures with the participation of all related stake- holders will be prepared to fulfill her commitments under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.' Turkey, moving forward and fulfilling her com- mitments in line with this statement, showed her ambition and determination in this matter by completing the Climate Change Action Plan. Becoming a country that can pass its heritage of civilization on to future gen- erations is only possible by taking on leading roles in one's time.

The target of a 14% share of renewable energy in the transport sector is implemented in accordance with the Directive on the promotion of renewable energy (RES II). The proportion of renewable energy in the transport sector will increase, primarily due to the increasing market penetration of electric mobility paired with a high proportion of renewable energy in the electricity mix and a slight increase in the use of sustainably produced biofuels. In 2017, Austria had a share of renewables in the transport sector of around 9.5%. The additional 4.5% to achieve the minimum target of 14% in 2030 can be reached by increasing the share of e-mobility and an increased share of biofuels in gasoline and diesel fuels.

to ensure the adequacy of energy supply and demand and to strengthen energy efficiency in the key sectors of the national economy. To institutionalize energy efficiency, several partnership agreements have been concluded with the Ministries in charge of Housing, Tourism, National Education and Industry and others will be established with other major players in the national energy scene. Our objective through these partnerships is to introduce energy efficiency techniques in a sustainable manner into all sectoral development programs, to encourage industrial companies to use renewable energies and cogeneration, to generalize audits energy at the level of SMEs-SMIs, to draw up an energy efficiency code in buildings providing for the development of solar water heaters, to generalize the use of low-consumption lamps and to use equipment adapted to the level of the public lighting These actions cannot be implemented without an incentive legislative and institutional framework commensurate with our ambitions.

Key measures for the green transition The plan supports the green transition through investments of over €1 billion in the energy-efficient renovation of buildings, including social housing. Furthermore, €1.3 billion will be invested in sustainable mobility, notably by improving railway infrastructure, financing green public buses, deploying electric charging stations, developing urban public transport and creating or refurbishing cycling pathways. In addition, an important reform promotes electric road transport by limiting preferential tax treatment of company cars to zero-emission vehicles by 2026. The plan supports the decarbonisation of the energy sector by promoting the use of hydrogen as an energy source, with an investment of €540 million and an accompanying reform that should contribute to making it happen. On biodiversity and climate change adaptation €400 million will be invested for reconnecting ecosystems, enhancing protected natural areas, forests and wetlands and for structural measures to sustainably manage water availability thereby increasing climate change resilience.

Around three quarters of Switzerland's greenhouse gas emissions result from fossil fuel use. Energy and climate policy are therefore closely linked. The main objective of the Energy Strategy 2050 (increasing energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy) also contributes to the mitigation of CO emissions. However, due to the implementation of the Energy Strategy 2050, it is possible that the production of electricity from fossil sources may increase, which would have a negative impact on Switzerland's CO emissions. Fossil thermal power plants are therefore obliged to fully compensate their emissions. The first bundle of measures of the Energy Strategy 2050 also includes measures that require adjustments of the CO Act, most notably the strengthening of the CO emissions regulations for passenger cars from 130 to 95 grams of CO per kilometre, the exemption from the CO levy of operators of fossil combined heat and power plants, and the increase of the maximum amount earmarked for the national buildings refurbishment programme from 300 million to 450 million Swiss francs per year. As detailed in section 5.2.1, EPFL and Infras (2016) and EPFL (2017) estimate that in the energy sector the combined effects of policies and measures are responsible for about 12 per cent of the aggregate effect of currently implemented and adopted policies and measures.

(81) Co-products from the production and use of fuels should be taken into account in the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions. The substitution method is appropriate for the purposes of policy analysis, but not for the regulation of individual economic operators and individual consign- ments of transport fuels. In those cases the energy alloca- tion method is the most appropriate method, as it is easy to apply, is predictable over time, minimises counter- productive incentives and produces results that are gener- ally comparable with those produced by the substitution method. For the purposes of policy analysis the Commis- sion should also, in its reporting, present results using the substitution method. (82) In order to avoid a disproportionate administrative burden, a list of default values should be laid down for common biofuel production pathways and that list should be updated and expanded when further reliable data is avail- able. Economic operators should always be entitled to claim the level of greenhouse gas emission saving for bio- fuels and bioliquids established by that list. Where the default value for greenhouse gas emission saving from a production pathway lies below the required minimum level of greenhouse gas emission saving, producers wish- ing to demonstrate their compliance with this minimum level should be required to show that actual emissions from their production process are lower than those that were assumed in the calculation of the default values. (83) It is appropriate for the data used in the calculation of the default values to be obtained from independent, scientifi- cally expert sources and to be updated as appropriate as those sources progress their work. The Commission should encourage those sources to address, when they update their work, emissions from cultivation, the effect of regional and climatological conditions, the effects of cultivation using sustainable agricultural and organic farming methods, and the scientific contribution of producers, within the Com- munity and in third countries, and civil society.

The Republic of Namibia is an upper-middle-income herself as a leader in environmental protection. Namibia is the first nation in the world to incorporate environmental protection into its constitution. The country has protected almost the entire Namib Desert, the world's oldest desert, from environmental damage. Namibia has also protected its entire 1571 km long coastline as a national park. This far- sighted commitment to sustainable development has protected the natural environment of Namibia, including its marine life, coastal ecosystems and its extraordinary wildlife which include elephants, cheetahs, rhino and lions. Together with the country's reputation for stability and safety, this has contributed to Namibia's growing reputation as an eco-tourist destination which attracts visitors from all over the world. In spite of so many positive indicators, Namibia faces significant challenges. While the economy has grown substantially, this has not reduced unemployment. As a result, in terms of income equality, Namibia is amongst the most unequal nations in the world. Twenty-eight percent of the labour force is unemployed. In 2016, nearly 18% of the population lived in poverty. Moreover, a large proportion of the population is vulnerable to communicable and noncommunicable diseases. The prevalence of HIV is particularly high at 16.9% in 2014 from 19% in 2012. A lack of industrialization and infrastructure has contributed to Namibia's economic imbalance. In the year 2014, 31% of Namibian work force worked in agriculture which contributed only 3.9% of the GDP. While drought and declines in prices on the global market are partly responsible for agriculture's relatively small contribution to Namibia's GDP, a lack of modernisation in farming techniques and a lack of infrastructure in business development have made modernization, Namibia has an unfavorable trade

The INDC sets out a number of mitigation actions to limit the country's GHG emissions. These mitigation actions will play a key role in realizing the move to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy and to Bangladesh becoming middle-income country by 2021. The INDC includes both unconditional and conditional emissions reduction goals for the power, transport, and industry sectors, alongside further mitigation actions in other sectors, which Bangladesh intends to carry out. The foundation of this INDC is in line with Bangladesh's existing strategies and plans, in particular the Bangladesh Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (BCCSAP), Renewable Energy Policy 2008, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Master Plan (E&CC Master Plan), the forthcoming National Adaptation Plan, the National Sustainable Development Strategy, the Perspective Plan (Vision 2021), the National Disaster Management Plan and the Disaster Management Act. As per this INDC, Bangladesh will provide an unconditional contribution to reduce GHG emissions by 5% from Business as Usual (BAU) levels by 2030 in the power, transport and industry sectors, based on the support of existing resources and a conditional 15% reduction in GHG emissions from BAU levels by 2030 in the above sectors subject to appropriate international support (MoEF, 2015). Bangladesh has started to prepare its INDC implementation road map in which it intends to implement adaptation activities worth about $40 billion.

Forestry in 5 million ha of forest and 2 million ha of woodland alone represents around 50% of the total domestic abatement potential (or 130 Mt COe) and, as a sector, can even yield 'negative emissions' via sequestration, i.e., storage of carbon in the form of wood, at a level that surpasses emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The single most important lever is to reduce demand for fuelwood through fuelwood efficient stoves, offering a potential of almost 35 Mt COe reduction, while other advanced cooking and baking technologies (electric, biogas, and LPG stoves) offer an additional combined potential of more than 15 Mt COe. Capturing this abatement potential requires the switch of more than 20 million households to more efficient stoves. In addition, afforestation (2 million ha), reforestation (1 million ha), and forest management (2 million ha of forests and 2 million ha of woodlands) can help to increase sequestration by more than 40 Mt COe and hence even surpass any remaining emissions from the forestry sector. Pressure from agriculture on forests can be reduced by agriculture intensification on existing land or unlocking degraded land thanks to irrigation, with the potential to lower deforestation and thus the associated emissions by nearly 40 Mt COe in 2030. The agriculture sector has a total abatement potential for soil- and livestock- related emissions of 90 Mt COe, representing around 35% of the total domestic abatement potential Soil. The introduction of lower-emitting techniques, such as conservation agriculture (including applying zero or minimum tillage), watershed man- agement, and nutrient and crop management, could reduce emissions by 40 Mt COe in 2030. The introduction and enhancement of these lower- emitting techniques will form a priority for the soil sector in the coming years and the initiative will target 75% of rural households by 2030. Moreover, through agricultural intensification and capture of new agricultural land in arid areas through irrigation, techniques from crop production help to increase the abatement potential from saved forests. In fact, these initiatives increase the sequestration from forests by 38 MT COe in 2030. Livestock.

IPCC (2006) Tier 1 approaches were used to estimate emissions from livestock enteric fermentation and manure management, synthetic fertilizer application, and methane emissions from rice production In 2012, agriculture was estimated to emit 4 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Based on projected population and GDP growth, described in Section 1(e), GHG emissions from the agriculture sector are estimated to increase to 6.8 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in 2030 for the baseline scenario. Five (5) mitigation measures in the agriculture sector were assessed. The unconditional objective includes the implementation of two (2) mitigation measures, which make it possible to reduce GHG emissions from the agricultural sector by 14.34% in 2030 compared to GHG emissions from the agricultural sector in the scenario of reference. The conditional objective includes the implementation of three (3) additional mitigation measures. The full implementation of the unconditional and conditional objectives makes it possible to reduce GHG emissions from the agricultural sector by 20% in 2030 compared to the reference scenario. Forestry and other land uses IPCC (2006) Tier 1 approaches were used to estimate emissions from Forest Land Remaining Forest Land (biomass gains and losses), Forest Converted to Other Land and Land Converted to Forest Land. In 2012, TSF emissions were estimated to amount to 58 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Based on the continuation of historical trends, GHG emissions for the FAT sector are estimated to increase to 68.6 million tonnes of C02 equivalent emissions in 2030 for the baseline scenario. Two mitigation measures in the agricultural sector were assessed, based on the objectives of the SPREF strategy of Cte d'Ivoire. The unconditional goal includes the implementation of two mitigation measures, to reduce the rate of deforestation by 70% and the conversion of 1 million hectares of land to forest by 2030, which achieves a reduction 35% of FOLU sector GHG emissions in 2030 compared to FOLU sector GHG emissions in the baseline scenario. The conditional goal includes the implementation of an additional mitigation measure, the conversion of an additional 2 million hectares of land to forest by 2030. Full implementation of the unconditional and conditional goals results in 150% GHG emissions from the agricultural

Renewable energy use will be increased to account for over 50 % of the final energy consumption in the 2020s. The long-term goal is for the energy system to become carbon neutral and be heavily based on renewable energy sources. Policy measures looking to 2030 take into account not only cost-effectiveness but also longer term needs to change the energy system. The use of agricultural, municipal and industrial waste and sidestreams in the production of heat and electricity as well as transport fuels will be promoted. This will also reduce environmental stress, promote a circular economy, and create reference sites for clean bioeconomy and circular economy solutions. Decentralised electricity and heat production based on renewable energy will be promoted. An effort will be made to increase decentralised small- scale production, mainly on market terms and through the current economic incentives. The interest of citizens, companies and the public sector in utilising renewable sources in the energy solutions of individual buildings will be encouraged through guidance by information and local reference sites. Changes in financial incentives for decentralised production, including investment aids, will be implemented with moderation and over a sufficiently long time interval, taking the reduction in the costs of decentralised production into account. Renewable energy investment subsidies will primarily be targeted at the commercialisation of new technologies and to the non-ETS sector, including plants producing advanced biofuels for transport, wider use of alternative transport power sources, and building- specific or other non- ETS electricity and heat production of companies and farms. The objective is that aid for different technologies will be phased out as a technology develops, the costs are reduced and competitiveness improves. Additional measures taken to increase the volume of renewable energy and improve energy efficiency will bring Finland's self-sufficiency in energy up to 55 % of final energy consumption by the end of the 2020s. Global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create demand for clean energy production and consumption solutions. In measures that promote renewable energy use, attention should also be paid to the creation of references and a domestic market for solutions based on renewable energy, resource efficiency and a flexible energy system, which are growing global sectors.

(25) The transition to climate neutrality requires changes across the entire policy spectrum and a collective effort of all sectors of the economy and society, as highlighted in the European Green Deal. The European Council, in its conclusions of 12December 2019, stated that all relevant Union legislation and policies need to be consistent with, and contribute to, the fulfilment of the climate-neutrality objective while respecting a level playing field, and invited the Commission to examine whether this requires an adjustment of the existing rules. (26) As announced in the European Green Deal, the Commission assessed the Unions 2030 target for greenhouse gas emission reduction, in its communication of 17September 2020 entitled Stepping up Europes 2030 climate ambition Investing in a climate-neutral future for the benefit of our people. The Commission did so on the basis of a comprehensive impact assessment and taking into account its analysis of the integrated national energy and climate plans submitted to it in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council(12). In light of the 2050 climate-neutrality objective, by 2030 greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced and removals enhanced, so that net greenhouse gas emissions, that is emissions after the deduction of removals, are reduced economy-wide and domestically by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The European Council endorsed that target in its conclusions of 10 and 11December 2020. It also provided initial guidance on its implementation. That new Union 2030 climate target is a subsequent target for the purposes of point (11) of Article2 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, and therefore replaces the 2030 Union-wide target for greenhouse gas emissions set out in that point. In addition, the Commission should, by 30June 2021, assess how the relevant Union legislation implementing the Union 2030 climate target would need to be amended in order to achieve such net emission reductions. In view of this, the Commission has announced a revision of the relevant climate and energy legislation which will be adopted in a package covering, inter alia, renewables, energy efficiency, land use, energy taxation, CO2 emission performance standards for light-duty vehicles, effort sharing and the EU ETS. The Commission intends to assess the impacts of the introduction of additional Union

The Government wants to promote the establishment of new green growth businesses and Denmark as a workshop for the development of new green technologies. With the 2020 climate agreement on energy and industry, there is broad political support for Denmark taking the global lead in renewable energy and ensuring an ambitious green transition of industry.² Denmark is facing an ambitious expansion of green energy and a significant investment in green technologies of the future, including carbon capture and Power-to-X. Denmark has entered into a partnership with the Netherlands, which will finance a subsidy scheme for Power-to-X plants with at least 750 million DKK. The collaboration will help to collect experiences with large-scale production of green fuels for transport and industry, and strengthen international cooperation in the Power-to-X sector. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that capture and storage are necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. These technologies will contribute to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, including in sectors where it is currently difficult or not Denmark is leading the way with an ambitious national green transition, and we can make great strides with established technologies and instruments. But there is also a need to develop technologies through cooperation with other countries and the international business community to attract knowledge, innovation and investments from other countries, businesses and actors. This can contribute to our domestic efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030 and the goal of climate neutrality by 2050. The Government will work to attract green investments to Denmark and engage in international collaborations on innovation and research, which can strengthen the role of Danish knowledge institutions and accelerate the development of new green technologies that can contribute to maintaining Danish positions of strength. Intensified climate diplomacy efforts can also contribute to these efforts. 65 billion DKK², this sector provides a basis for increased green growth in Denmark and contributions to the global green transition. Therefore, Danish businesses need favourable conditions for developing and exporting new green products and solutions, including access to export promotion initiatives and financing. as well as new incentives for research and development. The Government will work to ensure the spread of Danish businesses' green solutions through a focused export promotion initiative and by further strengthening green economic diplomacy.

Mongolia's primary source of energy is coal; it is estimated that there are 173 billion tonnes of coal. Coal-fired thermal power plants accounted for a total of 96.1% of the total electricity supply in 2015; a total of 5541.74 GWh of electricity. There are quite numbers of regulations in place aimed at reducing GHG emissions by increasing renewable energy and improving energy efficiency. Such as Mongolia's 2030 Sustainable Development in energy supply related goals include: the share of power demand supplied by domestic power generation sources will be 100% by 2030, the share of renewable energy sources in total installed power capacity for domestic supply will be 30% by 2030, the use of nuclear energy for electricity and heat generation for the period 2025-2030. Mongolia's Renewable Energy Law was approved in 2007 and renovated in 2015. Its purpose is to regulate the generation and delivery of power from renewable energy resources and to encourage the development of privately financed power projects by setting up the legal framework that will allow electricity from Renewable energy to be bought. One of the main factors which are contributing to energy usage is heat loss in buildings. Green Development Policy aims to decrease heat loss by 40% by 2030 by insulation improvements for existing buildings and the implementation of new energy-efficient standards for new buildings. The Energy Conservation (EC) Law of Mongolia was approved by the Parliament on 26 November 2015. The EC Law mandates large energy consumers to undergo an energy audit and to report annually

quantitative assessment of effects of PaMs in the field of electricity generation from renewable energy sources: while most EU Member States and by extension, most countries - own a "double dividend" from the encouragement of electricity generation from renewable ("carbon neutral") sources - by increasing the share of renewable energy in accordance with the RED (Directive No 2009/28/EC) and, in addition, by lowering GHG emissions from electricity generation - Luxembourg only benefits from the increase in the share of renewable energy. Electricity generated in Luxembourg from renewable sources does not substitute generation from fossil fuels, as it is the case in most other Member States as it replaces electricity imports, which are "carbon neutral" according to IPCC allocation rule of GHG emissions based on the territorial principle. Therefore the promotion of electricity generation from renewable energy sources or from CHP to replace electricity imports does not have an impact on the GHG emissions, and are consequently not considered as measures in this report and are, de facto, included in the baseline - or BAU - scenario.

CO, emissions were estimated following a Tier 2 methodological approach available in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, by multiplying the above-mentioned emission factors to annual activity data on hydrated lime production considering the type of lime produced, the correction factor or the amount of lime kiln dust, LKD representing a mixture of raw materials varying from an uncalcined state to a completely calcined state. Virtually, all types of kilns used to produce lime generate such dust, but the amount depends on the technology applied within the respective factory. It should be noted that the lime kiln dust can be retained by electrostatic precipitation or filtration, and it is possible to return it to the kiln as raw material. Related to CO₂ emissions, any amount of dust that is not returned to the kiln is considered to be a system loss. Table 4-20: Default EFs used to estimate CO₂ emissions from glass production Under this source category are covered GHG emissions originated from the production of different types of glass (flat window glass, multi-layer insulating glass, mirrors, glassware, tableware, specialty glass, etc.). Glass is produced from a raw material mix containing silica (SiO₂), sodium (Na,0), lime (CaO) or other carbonates (CaCO,, CaMg(CO), Na₂CO,, BaCO,, K,CO, SrCO,, etc.), with small admixture of aluminium (AIO) and alkaline substances, plus other minor ingredients. The process of glass production allows for a small quantity of recycled glass (cullet) to be used (its share can vary between 10-80 per cent of the total raw material used). The melting process for different types of glass is similar. The process of glass production implies the following phases: selection and preparation of the raw material, melting, moulding, hardening, quenching, and finishing.

Within the industry sector, reliance on negative emissions was seen in all pathways. Similar to results from the Trottier Institute and Canada's LTS modelling, negative emissions are found to be necessary to achieve Canada's net zero by 2050 target, such as through the deployment of DAC and BECCS. • However, CCI's analysis found that Canada can reach net zero by 2050 without relying on engineered negative solutions, with nature-based solutions playing a larger role. This conclusion is unlike Canada's LTS scenario results, which assumed a specific emission reduction from LULUCF across all scenarios and models.

The Solomon Islands is a small contributor to the greenhouse gas emissions by any measurable indicator and yet it is at the frontline of the wrath of climate change and sea level rise. Solomon Islands has a right to develop its economy and improve the well-being of its population. Thus Solomon Islands contribution towards limiting the global temperature to below 1.5C relative to pre-industrial levels provides a moral imperative as a global citizen. The government has embarked on a number of actions which will result in increasing the use of renewable energy technologies, improving energy security and reduction of GHG emissions. However, the main focus for long term sustainable development still remains the issue of addressing the adverse impacts of climate change and its consequent sea-level rise.

Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 implies achieving a balance between greenhouse gas emissions and absorptions on national territory. Indeed, by 2050, by mobilizing to the maximum the potential of each lever available to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, without however making technological bets, a certain level of emissions seems incompressible, in particular in non-energy sectors (particularly agriculture). To achieve carbon neutrality, these emissions must be offset by carbon sinks, such as: ecosystems managed by humans (forests, agricultural land, etc.), products and materials derived from the bioeconomy from plant materials (wood, straw, etc.), industrial processes (capture and storage or reuse of carbon - see appendix 5.

The Environmental Goals and Sustainable Prosperity Act (2007) In 2007, Nova Scotia passed legislation outlining principles for sustainable economic growth, including a requirement to reduce GHG emissions in the province to 10% below 1990 levels by 2020. The development and implementation of the Nova Scotia Climate Action Plan led to early action on the electricity sector, the largest source of emissions in the province. As a result, Nova Scotia has not only achieved its target six years early, it has also already met the Canadian 2030 target of 30% below 2005 levels, and is on a track to continue reducing emissions.

Nova Scotia has implemented two separate regulations to reduce emissions from the electricity sector and to improve the supply of renewable energy; together, these two regulations are expected to result in a reduction of 2,700 kt eq. CO in 2020. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Regulations put in place a mandatory declining cap for GHG emissions from power plants. From a baseline of 10.2 Mt (2007), reductions are planned in incremental steps so that emissions total 7,500 kt or less by 2020 and are down to 4,500 kt or less. less by 2030. The total GHG reduction from the electricity sector from 2007 to 2030 will be at least 5,700 kt eq. CO. Under the Renewable Electricity Regulations, 40% of electricity supply must come from renewable sources by 2020. This will involve adopting a diverse mix of energy sources, including wind power, tidal power, solar power, hydropower and bioenergy. The impact of this mitigation measure is included in the estimate of the federal CO Emissions Reduction measure, resulting from amendments to the Coal-fired Electricity Regulations.

It can be seen in Figure 2-4 (left), by type of fuel the major sources of CO2 emissions in energy sector is gas fuels combustions. Figure 1 (right) shows the sectoral sources of CO emissions in energy during 2005-2015 is dominated by the up-stream oil and gas production facility, in which the GHG emissions is generated from natural gas combustions for own use in the up-stream oil and gas production facility. After this up-stream facility, the main sectoral sources are dominated by road and water-born transportation, power generation, residential and fugitive. However, after 2012 the contribution of GHG emissions from fuel combustions for power generation increase exceeds the GHG emissions from fuel combustions for the road and water-born transportation. The calculation of CO emissions from fuel combustions using sectoral approach usually is slightly higher if compare those are calculated by reference approach. It indicates possible problems with the collection of activity data and parameters used in estimating GHG emission level that related to net calorific values, carbon content, excluded carbon calculation, etc. The reference approach still can be used in the estimation of GHG emissions in energy sector if there is no comprehensive energy balance table available in the national Statistics. However, for the case of Timor-Leste, the comparison of the calculation of CO emissions from fuel combustions under reference and sectoral approaches shows that there is no significant discrepancy (see Figure 2-4). It can be seen from the figure that the discrepancy is almost neglected, and it is only occurred in 2015, i.e. 0.02%.

In preparing the proposal, the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Development and the National State Reform Council had the support of multiple national and international organizations and experts, and the most diverse sectors and groups of stakeholders participated in the consultation process. national life. The National Development Strategy marks two milestones in the future of the Nation. In the first place, through extensive consultations, it has been possible to define which country Dominicans want to have by the year 2030, and what are the best ways to achieve it. There is, therefore, a national agreement on what we want and how to achieve it. This agreement must bring about the union of wills to ensure that the policies set forth in the Strategy are promoted to achieve the necessary reforms. The other milestone is that the National Development Strategy means a fundamental change in the way the State is run. The fact of having agreed on objectives, policies and goals should lead to a fundamental continuity of state action in pursuit of the achievement of the country that Dominican men and women said they wanted. Improvisation and lack of coordination in state actions must become a thing of the past.

Post-2012, new developments in the local electricity generation sector played a crucial part in the reversal of the emissions trend for energy industries. Marsa Power Station was largely decommissioned (one operational unit remaining solely for emergency stand-by purposes still in place), investment was made in an interconnector with mainland Europe, thus allowing for the possibility to source electricity from the European grid, and the construction and bringing into operation of a gas-fired plant. These investments together have led to the drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that may be observed after 2012, coupled by significant improvements in the overall emissions intensity of indigenous electricity generation. It is to note that all existing public electricity generation plants mentioned here fall within the scope of the European Union's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and are subject to monitoring, reporting and emissions accounting obligations under the EU ETS. Historical CO emissions, electricity generated in Malta and electricity sources through the interconnector, since 2005 (the first year of implementation of the EU ETS) are shown in Figure 16. Furthermore, progress is being achieved with regards to sourcing of a share of local energy demand from renewable energy sources. The share of renewable energy in relation to gross final electricity consumption is estimated to have reached 6.6% by 2017.

According to the 2020-2030 energy strategy, the country has the opportunity to increase the share of renewable energy sources (hydro, wind and solar), and thus reduce the share of imported electricity and generation of imported thermal power plants, thereby increasing the degree of energy independence and clean energy. In December 2019, the Law on Encouraging the Production and Use of Energy from Renewable Sources, adopted by the Parliament of Georgia, provides a legal basis for mechanisms to promote the production of renewable energy, the so-called "development of support schemes". Such mechanisms in international practice are the "Premium Tariff", "Green Certificate", "Price Difference Agreement" and "Special Green Tariff". The purpose of these mechanisms is to facilitate the production of electricity from renewable energy sources (hydro, wind, solar). Also, according to this law, by the end of 2020 the government must approve the support schemes developed by the Ministry, which include incentives, schemes or mechanisms for the use of energy from renewable sources, including biomass, in Georgia, such as: investment assistance, tax exemption or reduction, Tax refund. By 2021, the rules for announcing and conducting a competitive auction to encourage the production of energy from renewable sources and the granting and revoking of the status of privileged producer of energy from renewable sources should be adopted.

The project will also draw on the experience of the 'Energising Economies' project through which customers with low energy demand were provided with electricity on a monthly 'pay-as-you-go' basis by private sector operators. The project will also promote the local production of solar com- ponents and appliances, taking advantage of the work that has already been done in this regard by the NASENI and others. The Solar Power Strategy will support 250,000 jobs and impact up to 25 million beneficiaries through the installation of 5 million Solar Home systems and mini-grids. Provision of reliable elec- tricity to health clinics will also be included as a priority. The project will swiftly increase the stock of affordable energy by providing solar power to rural communities that have little or no access to the national grid.

In the rural sector, there are some 21 atolls and 1 raised island that are currently occupied with 165 villages in many islets. Not all have equal water needs. The first task will be to establish a priority list in four rankings of villages needing improved water supplies. Then in a four phase, each of five years program rapid assessment of current groundwater resources will be undertaken for each priority ranking together with the formation of village or island level water committee. These committees will be used to develop strategies for local ownership, protection and control of water supply systems including identifying rules for water use and for local cost-recovery for maintenance and operation. Under the oversight of the local committees, solar powered pumping and water storages will be developed and sourced from groundwater at some distance from dwellings and livestock. As well investigations will be conducted of the impact of sanitation systems on rural water supplies. A review will be conducted at the end of each phase to identify strengths and weaknesses. It is planned this will be a 20 year program. The revolving loans fund to assist householders in South Tarawa to install rainwater collection and storage tanks has proved a considerable success. This strategy will seek to extend that scheme to more areas in South Tarawa and to rural areas and to provide larger community storages to drier locations. A community awareness program will be conducted to increase understanding of the care, protection and maintenance of rainwater systems. This is considered to be a 5 year program. The government's policy on decentralisation from South Tarawa to designated growth centres will be promoted to decrease inward migration. The Outer Island Water Supply project is designed to increase the attractiveness and amenity of Outer Islands also as an aid too decreasing inward migration. Refurbishment of the supply main has already been carried out in South Tarawa. The distribution system to households will be improved to lower leakage rates and new connections feed tanks with water meters will be installed in 80% of households and a water tariff system will be introduced. Urban Councils will form Water Management Committees to steer this process and a consumer education program will be undertaken on the use, protection and care of the system and on water tariffs. This is a planned 5 year program. Strategy 2: Achieve financially, technically and environmentally sustainable water resource management

As for attracting funds from the private sector, we will promote the development of financial market rules, such as standards for information disclosure and evaluation, in cooperation with other countries. Carbon neutrality by 2050 is an extremely difficult task, requiring more ambitious innovation challenges than ever before. For particularly important projects, after sharing ambitious and specific goals between the public and private sectors, we will provide end-to-end support from technology development to demonstration and social implementation for companies that commit to taking on the challenge of achieving those goals.. For this reason, a fund of 2 trillion yen will be created in the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), a national research and development agency.. Based on the implementation plan of this strategy, we will actively pursue priority areas such as (1) greening and electrification of electricity, (2) realization of a hydrogen society, and (3) CO fixation and reuse, which are indispensable for a carbon-neutral society and the foundation of industrial competitiveness. We will continue to support the ambitious research and development of companies that demonstrate their commitment to achieving these targets for the next 10 years.

Our goal is to go even further to embed net zero across government activity. This will mean that government takes net zero into account when taking decisions, public sector buildings will emit less carbon, our procurement decisions will lead to greener supply chains, and civil servants across government will have the skills they need to deliver this mission.

The general objective of reducing emissions is to contribute to the global effort to limit global warming below 2C through adaptation measures with co-benefits in terms of mitigation. In the Energy sector, the emissions reduction target is to reduce GHG emissions by 12.8% and 15.6% respectively in 2025 and 2030. The emissions reduction target in the Agriculture sector is 15% by 2030. In the Forestry and other land uses sector, the objective is to sequester 12893811.19 IC and 13216035.32 IC respectively in 2025 and 2030 through reforestation; and 15,034,490.58 IC and 15,296,797.06 IC respectively in 2025 and 2030 through natural regeneration. To develop these objectives, LEAP, EX-ACT and COMAP were used in the Energy, Agriculture and FAT sectors respectively. The scenarios are based on socio-economic assumptions.

In January 2007, the Commission published a Renewable Energy Roadmap outlining a long-term strategy and in 2009 the EU adopted Directive 2009/28/EC aiming at increasing the average renewable share across the EU to 20% by 2020. Such Directive sets mandatory national targets for the overall share of energy from renewable sources in gross final consumption of energy: the national target for Italy is 17%.. EU countries are free to decide their own preferred'mix' of renewable sources, allowing them to take account of their different potentials. They had to present National Action Plans (NAPs) based on indicative trajectories to the European Commission by 30 June 2010, followed by progress reports to be submitted every two years. The objective expressed in the form of a share of energy from renewable sources relative to total consumption in transport, electricity and heating and cooling in 2020 also takes into account the effects of other policy measures addressing energy efficiency. The Directive 2009/28/EU has been transposed by the Legislative Decree N. 28 of 3rd March 2011. The

Tourism currently provides only around 50,000 Jordanian jobs, representing 6% of the total employment in the various economic sectors. There is a big opportunity to improve the ability of the tourism sector to increase the employment rate to global averages, estimated at about 18% given its ability to create more job opportunities. This increase should include all the Kingdom's governorates. In this context, it is necessary to take measures that would increase job-generating tourism investments, develop the education and training system in various tourist areas and replace foreign labor with Jordanian labor as much as possible. In order to develop Jordan's tourism sector, the efforts that are being made by the concerned authorities, particularly the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, should be continued, by developing the various tourism subsectors in Jordan, such as the religious tourism, continuing to creating new tourist routes and developing those already existing in various governorates of the Kingdom and offering various tourist services in these areas. At the intersection of Jordan's attractiveness as a tourist destination and its potential positioning as a regional diplomatic and humanitarian hub sits conferences and events. The ongoing expansion of Jordan's 5-star hotel market and unique world-class facilities such as the King Hussein Conference Centre at the Dead Sea mean that the basic MICE infrastructure is already in place. Jordan is already host to World Economic Forums and major international industry conferences but could win a greater share of the regional MICE market.
