The transport sector includes emissions from fuel combustion in road transportation, civil aviation, railways and navigation. The emission from transport sector in 2016 amounted to 6,137 kt CO-eq, which makes about 24.9% of total Croatia's greenhouse gases emission. In the 'with existing measures' scenario in the period from 2020 to 2035, projections indicate a slight increase in emissions by 2030 and a slight decrease in emissions in 2035. Factors that encourage the growth of emissions are expected increase in economic activities and living standards, while the emission reductions are primarily affected by the measures to increase energy efficiency and use of electric energy and renewable sources in transport. Most of the existing measures have defined duration by 2020 so in this scenario not many measures are simulated after 2020. In scenario 'with additional measures', in the period from 2020 to 2035, projections show a slight increase in emissions in 2020 and a stagnation and a slight decrease in emissions in 2035, primarily due to planned measures to increase the share of rail transport and development of electric vehicles, which will be the key condition for the strong reduction of emissions in transport sector in long term.
Uzbekistan signed the Paris Agreement (PA), by providing Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), to the UNFCCC Secretariat on 19 April 2017 and ratified it on 2 October 2018. The country has undertaken to reduce by 2030 the specific greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 10% of the 2010 level. Measures and actions to achieve the objective of curbing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions are laid down in sectoral development programs aimed at structural transformation, modernization and diversification of production, reduction of the energy intensity of GDP, the introduction of energy-saving technologies in the sectors of the economy and the social sphere.
CO emissions from lime production were recalculated for the period 1990-2016 as a result of updating the activity data on the amount of lime produced by auto-producers (in the current inventory cycle, information from sugar factories Sudzucker-Moldova SRL and Moldova-Sugar Ltd. were received, the market share of these two enterprises varied in the period 2013-2019 between 92.6 and 99.9 per cent of the total amount of sugar produced in the Republic of Moldova). Compared to the values recorded in BUR2 of the RM to the UNFCCC (2019), the changes undertaken resulted in an upward trend in CO emissions in the period 1990-2000, ranging from a minimum increase of 2.1 per cent in 2000 to a maximum increase of 13.7 per cent in 1990; respectively, in a tendency to reduce CO emissions in the period 2001-2016, varying from a minimum decrease of 0.3 per cent in 2001 to a maximum decrease of 39.2 per cent in 2014. CO emissions from lime production for the years 2017-2019 were calculated for the first time. In the period 1990-2019, CO emissions from lime production decreased by about 89.6 per cent (Table 4-36).

This Act contains provisions to implement recommendations on UK offshore oil and gas recovery and its regulation. The Act establishes the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) as an independent regulator (taking the form of a Government company), transfers regulatory powers and functions to it, as well as providing it with new powers. This ensures the OGA has the powers it needs to be an independent and effective regulator, and enable it to deliver on a strategy to give effect to the principal objective, defined in section 9A of the Petroleum Act 1998. The Act also enables more comprehensive charging of the offshore oil and gas industry for permits and licences for environmental and decommissioning activity.
This allows Government to continue to recover the costs of its environmental and decommissioning activity in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle. The Act makes changes so that local authorities decide whether to approve planning applications for new onshore wind farms, and brings forward the closure of the Renewables Obligation (RO) to new onshore wind in Great Britain. It also allows for provision to be made for restricting the use of renewables obligation certificates relating to new onshore wind in Northern Ireland. In relation to onshore oil and gas licensing in Scotland and Wales, the Act will respect the changing devolution position. The Secretary of State’s environmental regulatory functions in relation to oil and gas will not be transferred. The OGA will additional powers including: access to company meetings; data acquisition, retention and transfer; dispute resolution; and sanctions. The Act introduces provisions in relation to charges for the offshore oil and gas environmental regulator's services to the industry and makes legislative changes with respect to consenting of onshore wind farms (planning regime in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990).
These Regulations make provision for the continuation in Great Britain of the Renewable Heat Incentive ("RHI") incentive scheme to facilitate and encourage the renewable generation of heat, under which owners of plants which generate heat from specified renewable sources and meet specified criteria may receive payments at prescribed tariffs for the heat used for eligible purposes. Payments may also be made to biomethane producers who produce biomethane for injection. The Regulations also provide for the procedures for accreditation, registration, change of ownership and preliminary accreditation with the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority. The Authority shall make periodic payments as specified to participants in the Scheme who are owners of accredited RHI installations, or participants who are producers of biomethane for injection, or for the generation of heat by an accredited RHI installation.
As the circular economy is about horizontal connectivity between various sectors, the harmonisation between those various sectors will be crucial for a successful transition to a low-carbon society. Slovenia will thus form a systemic approach which will mutually integrate and enrich various programmes and projects, and seek necessary synergies between various sectors and fields and with regard to financing. Slovenia will establish suitable conditions for an integrated (co)operation of all relevant stakeholders in research, innovation, education and entrepreneurship. The key players in this transition will be the competent ministries, business (industry) associations, consumer organisations, industrial and service The attainment of climate neutrality and a circular economy requires an overall mobilisation of society because the transition's success is possible only with radical and systemic changes of consumer and production patterns, low-carbon technologies, extensive digitalisation of the economy and the prominent sustainable orientation of society. 7.1 Consumer and production processes for a low-carbon circular economy
The national system for policies, measures and projections, set up in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 525/2013 as of 9 July 2015, establishes the coordinating role of the MoE and CHMI, the role of sectoral NIS experts and involvement of the Interministerial Working Group for Climate Protection. This system must be, however, further developed and deepened in order to meet the demanding requirements regarding consistency and completeness of the reported data and information. 10. Updates and evaluation of the Climate Protection Policy of the Czech Republic Based on a government resolution of March 2017, the first evaluation of the Policy must be drawn up by 31 December 2021. The resolution also imposes an obligation to update it no later than on 31 December 2023.
The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC is an international climate change treaty which sets out emission reduction obligations for certain countries, including the UK. The first commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol ran from 2008 to 2012. A second commitment period was agreed under the Doha Amendment to the Kyoto Protocol, and this commitment period ended on 31 December 2020. The UK still has accounting obligations in relation to this commitment period, in order to demonstrate its compliance. Under the Kyoto Protocol regime, the UK is required to have a registry to hold and track Kyoto Units. Following the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020, the UK Kyoto Protocol Registry is now part of the UK Emissions Trading Registry. If you want to hold or trade Kyoto Units, you will need to have a Person Holding Account in the UK Kyoto Protocol

If you already have an account
If you held an open Person Holding Account in the UK Kyoto Protocol Registry when it was in the Consolidated System of European Registries CSEUR, this has now been migrated from the CSEUR to the UK Kyoto Protocol Registry, which is part of the UK Emissions Trading Registry. You will have been contacted by the National Administrator the Environment Agency and asked to provide details of a Primary Contact who is authorised to give instructions to the National Administrator on your behalf. You will need to nominate at least 2 people to operate your account for you known as Authorised Representatives. Existing Authorised Representative information has not been transferred. Your nominated Authorised Representatives will first need to create a Registry sign in on the UK Emissions Trading Registry so that you can provide their user IDs to the National Administrator. The National Administrator will then contact you and your nominated Authorised Representatives again to outline the next steps. If you need to create a new account

If the Kyoto Protocol had as its objective a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions - GHG - from developed countries and with economies in transition by approximately 5% in the period 2008-2012 compared to 1990, the studies carried out indicated that to prevent irreversible effects caused by climate change, global emissions must be reduced by approximately 50% by 2050 compared to the levels recorded in 1990. The package distributes among the member states, by means of criteria and targets, the EU objectives assumed at the 2007 Spring European Council, respectively of reducing, by 2020, by 20% of CO emissions at the EU level and increasing, in the same period of time, by up to to 20% of the share of renewable energies in total energy consumption, as well as increasing energy efficiency by 20%. In December 2012, at the 18th Conference of the Parties - COP 18 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the amendment to the Kyoto Protocol defining the regulatory norms for the second commitment period was adopted, respectively 2013-2020, and which will be applied from January 1, 2013. The EU and its member states have undertaken a commitment in accordance with the internal objective of reducing emissions by 20% compared to 1990 levels by 2020, which will be fulfilled jointly by the EU and its member states and Iceland.
efficient use of available funding. In order to ensure maximum impact of the different funds and instruments, encourages domestic efforts by developing countries, including ownership of supported action and the right identification of national priorities.
Energy for space heating in the built environment The most important pillars of the policy aimed at CO₂ neutral low-temperature heating in 2050 for the Netherlands, as described in the Energy Agenda, are a far-reaching reduction of heat demand through energy conservation and a significant reduction in the use of natural gas by stimulating and incorporating sustainably generated electricity. and sustainable heat. The cabinet is preparing legally binding measures, such as a minimum energy label for housing association homes and offices. It is being explored whether this can also be applied to other real estate sectors. In addition, the government will continue and broaden the promotion of savings through information, subsidies (such as the Own Home Energy Savings Incentive Scheme), low-interest loans (such as the National Energy Savings Fund), and support for innovative approaches. In the coming years, the legal and administrative preconditions will be created to greatly reduce natural gas in the built environment, partly because large-scale heat networks are regulated in a similar way to electricity and gas networks and because municipalities become (partly) responsible for the strategic elaboration. 4 Strategy and realization
These Regulations provide for the implementation of parts of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 together with parts of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1698/2005 in so far as those Council Regulations relate to less favoured areas. Council Regulation (EC) No. 1698/2005 is repealed Regulation (EU) No. 1305/2013 of the European Parliament of the Council on support for Rural Development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD). These Regulations define the conditions of eligibility for less favoured area compensatory allowances and the rates at which it is to be paid and confer powers of entry and inspection on persons authorised by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
