Under the impetus of HSH the Sovereign Prince, the Prince&#39;s Government is pursuing a determined sustainable development policy which intends to respect the Principality&#39;s commitments, in particular the Kyoto Protocol. This desire is reflected in actions on Monegasque territory as well as in cooperation actions in developing countries. In line with the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol, Monaco has set itself the objectives of improving energy efficiency by 20% and consuming 20% of final energy from renewable sources by 2020. To this end, the implementation of the Climate Energy Plan includes technical, regulatory, financial and awareness-raising actions.

The geographic coverage of Final emissions statistics will be changing from UK and Crown Dependencies to UK only from 2016 onwards. This publication provides the final estimates of UK greenhouse gas emissions going back to 1990. Estimates are presented by source in February of each year and are updated in March of each year to include estimates by end-user and fuel type. When emissions are reported by source, emissions are attributed to the sector that emits them directly. When emissions are reported by end-user, emissions by source are reallocated in accordance with where the end-use activity occurred. This reallocation of emissions is based on a modelling process. For example, all the carbon dioxide produced by a power station is allocated to the power station when reporting on a source basis.
However, when applying the end-user method, these emissions are reallocated to the users of this electricity, such as domestic homes or large industrial users. DECC does not estimate embedded emissions however the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs creates estimates annually. The alternative approaches to reporting UK greenhouse gas emissions report outlines the differences between them. For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high level sectors as follows energy supply, business, transport, public, residential, agriculture, industrial processes, land use land use change and forestry LULUCF, and waste management. These high level sectors are made up of a number of more detailed sectors, which follow the definitions set out by the International Panel on Climate Change IPCC, and which are used in international reporting tables which are submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC every year. A list of corresponding Global Warming Potentials GWPs used and a record of base year emissions are published separately. This is a National Statistics publication and complies with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. Data downloads in csv format are available from the UK Emissions Data Selector.

The Summer 2022 wave of the PAT was collected between 9 June and 7 July 2022 using a new push-to-web methodology, covering a sample of 4,491 individuals in the UK. The new methodology uses random probability sampling. Respondents are invited to participate through letters sent out to addresses randomly selected from the postcode address file PAF. They can complete the survey online or on paper. These results should not be compared with the face-to-face results or online panel results from previous waves due to selection and measurement effects. A summary of the methodology is provided in the Technical Overview report. A more detailed description of the survey methodology for Autumn 2021 to Summer 2022 together with core survey metrics is given in the Technical Report . The results have been split into topic-based reports. These reports also include the results from previous waves from Autumn 2021 onwards, and make comparisons with these results where possible. The Consumer Issues report was not updated in this wave as questions on these topics were not asked and the latest results on these topics can be found in the Spring 2022 wave . Some topic-based reports have been added or renamed since Spring 2022 after new questions were added to the survey. The previous report on Workers Rights has been renamed Workers Rights, Businesses and Trade. Some results previously published in the Heat and Energy in the Home report have been moved to a new report on Energy Bills and Tariffs. From Summer 2022 onwards we are no longer publishing the PAT datasets but more detailed versions will be available via the Secure Research Service SRS.
Minister of State for Climate, Environment and Energy Thank you for your letter dated 18 December in which you provided answers to the questions my Committee put to you. I am glad to see that the Government has now accepted all ICAI’s recommendations set out in its rapid review of the Blue Planet Fund. My Committee looks forward to working with ICAI to monitor the Department’s progress in delivering the actions contained in the Government’s response to ICAI’s report. I note that your letter specified that £18.5 million remains unallocated within the Defra portion of the Blue Planet Fund. I would be grateful if you could set out in further detail how Defra will ensure that any future programme spend though the Fund takes the needs of local people and partner countries into account and ensures priority is given to reducing poverty. Ensuring UK aid addresses local need has been a priority for my Committee through our work in this Parliament. It would also be helpful if you could comment on how the Department will monitor the sustainability of the Fund’s outcomes. The Committee would be happy to assist the Department on these points in any I would also be grateful if you could set out whether there is an intention to include ODA eligible UK Overseas Territories in plans for future spending through the Fund. Members of the Committee recently met with representatives of a number of British Overseas Territories, several of which highlighted difficulties they face in accessing aid financing. The Committee is keen to ensure that the Government gives due consideration to the development needs of our Overseas Territories going I would be grateful for your response by 5 February 2024. The Committee intends to publish your
These Regulations implement, for England and Wales and Northern Ireland, Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on procurement by entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors and repealing Directive 2004/17/EC. These Parts impose obligations on utilities in relation to how they award contracts for the execution of works, the supply of products or the provision of services. They set out some general rules and principles that apply to a procurement within the scope of the Regulations and detailed rules to be followed in relation to a procurement. Particular procurement regimes for the procurement of social and other specific services and the use of design contests: these regimes impose less detailed requirements and allow greater flexibilities. Certain requirements are imposed on utilities on utilities in relation to recording and reporting information.
The Regulations also contain provisions about remedies (and their facilitation) in relation to a procurement. In the case of water, these Regulations apply to the following activities: (a) the provision or operation of fixed networks intended to provide a service to the public in connection with the production, transport or distribution of drinking water; (b) the supply of drinking water to such networks. They also may apply to contracts or design contests awarded or organised by utilities which pursue an activity referred to above and which are connected with one of the following— (a) hydraulic engineering projects, irrigation or land drainage, provided that the volume of water to be used for the supply of drinking water represents more than 20 percent of the total volume of water made available by such projects or irrigation or drainage installations; (b) the disposal of treatment sewage.
1-The Portuguese State undertakes to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, which translates into a neutral balance between greenhouse gas emissions and the sequestration of these gases by the various sinks. 2- Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous number, the Government is studying, until 2025, the anticipation of the climate neutrality target, with a view to the commitment to climate neutrality by 2045 at the latest. 3-Climate policy is developed based on knowledge and a rigorous assessment based on the precautionary principle regarding the prospects of climate change in the short, medium and long term, and its impact on the lives of citizens, on economic, social and cultural activities and in the environment.
• Following the IPCC's fourth assessment report, the countries met in Copenhagen in 2009 to set a goal of limiting average global temperature rises to +2°C, which involves halving global emissions by 2050. In 2007, the IPCC estimated that this goal would require reductions of 80-95% by 2050 in developed countries. • now aims to limit global warming "well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C", and to achieve a global balance between greenhouse gas emissions and absorption - "carbon neutrality" - in the second half of the 21st century; • Recognizes the principles of "equity and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities in the light of different national circumstances." This requires the countries that have contributed the most to climate change (due to their past and current greenhouse gas emissions) and that are in a position to do so (capacity and potential to reduce emissions) to play a more active role in global climate action.
UK's leading businesses and research institutions will join force to develop technologies that will drive economic growth and create highly skilled local jobs. The business-led partnership will be funded by a GBP 75 million joint investment from the govenrment, business, and academia. Innovations receiving funding today include: - EDF, University of Bristol, University of Manchester, Imperial College London and the Science and Technology Facilities Council The project will develop the components of digital twins – virtual models of physical entities – that can be used to assess the condition of components of energy generators such as nuclear power plants, and their need for maintenance or remedial work.
62 Energy from renewable sources in 2012, Central Statistical Office, Warsaw 2013. solutions combining the development of renewable energy sources with the development and modernization of the power grid. Standardizing the interpretation of regulations and modifying the RES support system towards greater grid development would also contribute to faster commissioning of new RES. The development of renewable energy in Poland requires measures to promote renewable energy in Poland (action 31), based on the Polish Energy Policy, the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP), as well as periodic reports on progress in promoting and using energy from renewable sources in Poland (prepared pursuant to Article 22 of Directive 2009/28 / EC). The aim of the program will be to work out specific actions ensuring the implementation of the indicative development path of individual RES technologies specified in the NREAP, and as a result achieving at least 15% share of energy from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption by 2020. The program should contain solutions covering economic, social and environmental issues, so as to ensure the sustainable development of this sector of the economy. Considering the national potential of renewable energy sources, biomass may play a special role. For energy purposes, biomass from by-products, residues and waste from agriculture and agri-food processing should be used in the first place. These raw materials should be used locally in distributed generation units.

PRIORITY 14. ACCELERATE THE DEPLOYMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY France has adopted an ambitious development path for renewable energies, with a target of 32% by 2030. To meet this target, the framework for the development of renewable energies must be further simplified. Measures will be taken in the draft law relating to the transformation of relations between the administration and the public, in the fields of offshore energy, geothermal energy and methanisation. Experiments will be carried out in order to reduce the average development time of these projects. As part of the Overseas Conference, the Government will publish a list of calls for tenders that will be launched in the coming years to develop renewable energies in these territories. In mainland France, the scheduling of calls for tenders over the five-year period will be presented within a year, as part of the revision of the multi-annual energy schedule.
has led to the formulation of this Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan (OREDP) and its accompanying Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Appropriate Assessment (AA). In the last decade there has been significant growth in Ireland's renewable electricity generation output, driven largely by onshore wind. 19.6% of Ireland's electricity demand was met by renewable sources in 2012, with 15.3% being met by onshore wind. This rate of progress towards our target of meeting 40% of electricity demand from renewable sources by 2020, places Ireland at the forefront of renewables development. However, there is no room for complacency. Energy policy is defined by the need to be forward looking and to ensure that our electricity system is fit for purpose in the decades to come - both to meet our national energy needs, and for Ireland to have the capacity to fully participate in the wider European energy market. As we look towards 2030, and even out to 2050, the goal of decarbonising our electricity system will require the expansion of our renewable generation portfolio to include additional forms of renewable generation, such as offshore wind, and technologies still at the research, development and demonstration stage, such as wave and tidal devices and floating offshore wind systems. In tandem with this process, the Government has consistently identified the economic potential of our offshore energy resources as a priority area in the development of Ireland's green economy. The Action Plan for Jobs (2012) includes marine renewable energy among the green economy sectors in which critical mass must be built in order to realise its jobs potential, and prioritises finalising the OREDP and related SEA and AA to provide a clear framework for marine renewable energy development. The Report of the Research Prioritisation Steering Group (2012) identifies the opportunity to position Ireland as a research, development and innovation hub for the deployment of marine renewable energy technologies and services, thus facilitating the creation of an early stage industry and opening up the possibility of Ireland becoming a significant exporter of electricity. Ireland's Integrated Marine Plan, Harnessing Our Ocean Wealth (2012), recognises the potential of Ireland's offshore energy resource and specifies time-bound enabling and development targets, including implementation of the OREDP. Taking into account the findings of the SEA, and the AA,

In 2008, the European Union launched the &#39;Climate-Energy Package&#39; (so-called &#39;20-20-20 Package&#39;), with the following energy and climate targets for 2020: O A unilateral EU commitment to reduce by at least the 20% greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 compared to 1990 levels. The interventions needed to reach the 2020 targets will continue to yield results beyond this date, helping to reduce emissions by around 40% by 2050. A binding target for the EU to contribute 20% of energy from renewable sources to gross final consumption by 2020, including a 10% target for biofuels. o A 20% reduction in primary energy consumption compared to levels forecast in 2020, to be obtain through energy efficiency measures. This objective, only stated in the package, was subsequently declined, albeit in a non-binding manner, in the energy efficiency directive definitively approved in October 2012. O L&#39;Ita lia fully adhered to the spirit of the Climate-Energy Package and implemented the European regulatory framework, with a declination of the objectives that it provides for 2020: A binding commitment to reduce emissions equal to 18% overall, divided as follows: 21% for ETS (Emission Trading System, in particular electricity generation) sectors and 13% compared to 2005 in sectors not covered by the ETS system. A binding commitment of 17% of energy from renewable sources, including a 10% target for biofuels. A commitment to reduce primary energy consumption by 20% by 2020 compared to expected levels. In the new Energy Efficiency Directive approved in June 2012, various measures have been identified that are available to Member States to achieve this goal.
The UK Oil & Gas Authority Strategy amends the Maximizing Economic Recovery Strategy (MER UK Strategy) and places an obligation on the oil and gas industry to assist the Secretary of State in meeting the net-zero emissions target by 2050. The main changes are: - Clarifying that net zero is part of MER in the Central Obligation and embedding this change in relevant Supporting Obligations and economic definitions; - Including net zero as part of MER in the Central Obligation and embedding this change in relevant Supporting Obligations and economic definitions; - Reinforcing behaviors that enable effective supply chain collaboration; - Including a new corporate governance Supporting Obligation; - Including a new carbon storage Supporting Obligation; - Moving the collaboration ‘Required Action’ to the ‘Supporting Obligations’; - Clarifying how the OGA will include carbon costs in economic calculations.
