Energy strategy for the period up to 2035. The Government of the Russian Federation, by Decree No. 703-r dated April 19, 2018, approved a comprehensive plan of measures to improve the energy efficiency of the economy of the Russian Federation, which provides for measures to improve the energy efficiency implementation in relation to industrial enterprises, regulated organizations, organizations with state participation, organizations of the budgetary spheres, apartment buildings. The activities of the plan are aimed at ensuring the modernization of fixed assets, at increasing the contribution of the technological factor to reducing the energy intensity of the gross domestic product by at least 1.5 percent per year. in relation to regulated infrastructure organizations, the plan provides for the implementation of measures to reduce the loss of energy resources both during their consumption and during transportation. The plan provides for a combination of measures of direct administrative impact and incentive measures, as well as measures aimed at informational and methodological support for the implementation of state policy to improve energy efficiency. Measures are envisaged aimed at ensuring the coordination of the activities of the federal executive authorities and the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In order to ensure financing of the state policy in the field of energy saving, the plan provides for measures to attract extra-budgetary funds.
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.

The Energy sector is by far the largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions. In 2017, the Energy sector accounted for 66.7% of Armenia's total GHG emissions. The Energy sector includes emissions from all use of fuels to generate energy including fuel used in transport and the fugitive emissions related to the transmission, storage and distribution of natural gas. Table 2.2 Greenhouse gas emissions by gases and by sectors for 2017, Gg In addition to assessments based on Sectoral Approach the emissions of CO₂ from fuel combustion were also assessed by Reference Approach and the results were compared for checking purposes.
autumn and winter floods caused by precipitation will increase especially in large lakes and their outflow rivers. 190 6 Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and vulnerability assessment Adaptation to climate change is also addressed in the River Basin Management Plans to 2021, based on the EU Water Framework Directive. These plans were updated and adopted by the Government in December 2015 for 2016 to 2021. The main objective is to achieve good ecological and chemical status in surface and ground waters taking into account climate change. Adaptive measures for improving nutrient management, better risk management of accidents such as overflows from waste water treatment plants and better management of storm water are ongoing in many sectors. Additionally, many natural water retention measures are suggested in recently updated plans.
In 2015, approximately 12 per cent of all transport fuels used were biofuels in actual terms. The measure achieved an estimated 1.5 million tonnes CO reduction in transport-related greenhouse gas emissions in 2015. It is expected that biofuels will account for 20 per cent (double counting included) of all fuels consumed in transport in 2020. This would consist of first-generation biofuels (seven per cent of all road transport fuels sold) and second-generation biofuels (6.5 per cent of all road transport fuels sold). Biofuels would, in other words, replace 13.5 per cent of fossil fuels in transport in 2020, but as the contribution of second-generation biofuels is considered to be twice that made by other biofuels, the calculated share of all road transport biofuels would be 20 per cent. This means that the related emission reduction in the transport sector would be an estimated 1.6 to 1.7 million tonnes of CO in 2020 depending on the eventual biofuels consumption.

Under the revised EU ETS Directive", one single EU ETS cap covers the EU Member States and the three participating non-EU Member States (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), i.e. there are no further differentiated caps by country. For allowances allocated to the EU ETS sectors, annual caps have been set for the period from 2013 to 2020, these decrease by 1.74% annually, starting from the average level of allowances issued by Member States for the second trading period (2008-2012). The annual caps imply interim targets for emission reductions in sectors covered by the EU ETS for each year until 2020. For further information on the EU ETS and for information on the use of flexible mechanisms in the EU ETS see the EU-BR1 (Chapter 4.2.2) and EU-BR2 (Chapter 3.1). Non-ETS emissions are addressed under the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD)." The ESD covers emissions from all sources outside the EU ETS, except for emissions from international maritime, domestic and international aviation (which were included in the EU ETS from 1 January 2012) and emissions and removals from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). It thus includes a diverse range of small-scale emitters in a wide range of sectors: transport (cars, trucks), buildings (in particular heating), services, small industrial installations, fugitive emissions from the energy sector, emissions of fluorinated gases from appliances and other sources, agriculture and waste. Such sources currently account for about 55% of total GHG emissions in the EU.2 While the EU ETS target is to be achieved by the EU as a whole, the ESD target was divided into national targets to be achieved individually by each Member State (Figure 3.1). In the Effort Sharing Decision national emission targets for 2020 are set, expressed as percentage changes from 2005 levels. For Slovakia, this percentage changes from 2005 levels are +13%. These changes have been

The priorities in the field of energy include identifying strategic deposits of energy resources and protecting them against infrastructure development. This applies in particular to lignite and shale gas, the extraction of which may contribute to a change in the national energy mix. The policy regarding domestic energy resources should aim at diversifying sources of supply that will reduce the country&#39;s dependence on imports from one direction. Consistent efforts should be made to improve energy efficiency by reducing the energy consumption of the Polish economy. We are a country with great potential in this field. The biggest challenge for the energy sector is the modernization of energy and heating: generation units, transmission and distribution networks (including their development) and the diversification of the electricity generation structure by introducing nuclear energy and increasing the share of distributed renewable sources (mainly wind energy, biogas plants, biomass installations and solar energy), including micro-sources. The modernization of the sector should also be linked to the development of cogeneration and equipping it with intelligent solutions. In addition to investment-related activities, support will also be given to activities increasing competition on the energy market. In conducting energy policy, greater attention should be paid to the energy problems of regions, especially in the north-eastern part of the country, where difficult access to electricity is a key factor hindering development.

About the Strategy
The Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly. Food systems cannot be resilient to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic if they are not sustainable. We need to redesign our food systems which today account for nearly one-third of global GHG emissions, consume large amounts of natural resources, result in biodiversity loss and negative health impacts (due to both under- and over-nutrition) and do not allow fair economic returns and livelihoods for all actors, in particular for primary producers. Putting our food systems on a sustainable path also brings new opportunities for operators in the food value chain. New technologies and scientific discoveries, combined with increasing public awareness and demand for sustainable food, will benefit all stakeholders. The Farm to Fork Strategy aims to accelerate our transition to a sustainable food system that should:
The strategy sets out both regulatory and non-regulatory initiatives, with the common agricultural and fisheries policies as key tools to support a just transition. A proposal for a legislative framework for sustainable food systems will be put forward to support implementation of the strategy and development of sustainable food policy. Taking stock of learning from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission will also develop a contingency plan for ensuring food supply and food security. The EU will support the global transition to sustainable agri-food systems through its trade policies and international cooperation instruments. To enable and accelerate the transition to a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system, advisory services, financial instruments, but also research and innovation are instrumental as they can help resolve tensions, develop and test solutions, overcome barriers and uncover new market opportunities.
The transition to net zero will be carried out in an economically viable way The transition to net zero will be carried out in a socially acceptable way are optimal for the application. Energy sources that are scarce or expensive to produce (e.g. synthetic energies) should be used where alternatives are difficult to find and there are no other solutions.
Estonia's goal is to increase renewable energy to 25% of the final consumption of energy by 2020, which will require changes in all sectors. Today, the Estonian energy sector is largely based on fossil fuels but the share of renewable energy sources has steadily increased in recent years. In 2015, the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption was 28.6%, which means that the achieved level needs to be maintained in order to meet the target set for 2020. In the new National Energy Development Plan, the government has committed to achieve the share of renewable energy up to 50% of final energy consumption by 2030.
The Rli proposes to lay down the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 (compared to 1990) in a law at the national level. In view of the urgency of the climate problem, the Rli believes that a guarantee in the law in combination with a government commissioner who accelerates the energy transition is appropriate. The Rli also indicates that because of the uncertainties on the road to 2050, solid political and administrative support for the energy transition is indispensable. The advantage of a climate law is that it radiates decisiveness, offers legal certainty, is enforceable and can only be changed by law. At the same time, establishing a reduction target by law is not sufficient. Actions must follow from the goal. For example, in addition to an end goal, intermediate goals and transition paths (per energy function) are needed. Activities and further regulations will be necessary for this. In addition to legislation, and depending on the design also a government commissioner, the commitment of all parties to the energy transition remains necessary. Also, a law does not automatically regulate financing, nor are all social (cost-benefit) dilemmas resolved. A social arrangement or agreement on final goals, intermediate goals, task-setting agreements and agreements on the responsibilities of the parties involved has the advantage that all necessary parties can be involved and committed. The question is, however, whether this will lead to sufficient results towards a low-CO energy supply.
3. Biofuel and bioliquid which do not comply with the sustainability criteria established by this Law shall not be taken into account when estimating the share of the total final consumption of energy received from renewable sources. 4. If the Government of Georgia decides that, due to circumstances of force majeure, it is unable to satisfy the indicator of the share of energy received from renewable sources in the total final consumption of energy by 2030, this should be notified to the Energy Community Secretariat as soon as possible. 5. The total final consumption of electric power received from renewable sources shall be estimated as the quantity of electric power produced in Georgia from renewable sources. The volume of this electric power does not include electric power generated from water which was repeatedly pumped from a hydroelectric power station previously.

In relation to the period 2013-2020, the EU reached an agreement in December 2008 on a climate and energy package and on a regulation on CO from new vehicles. According to this package the EU is committed to reducing its overall emissions to at least 20% below 1990 levels by 2020. Under the EU burden sharing of the joint EU target for 2020, Denmark is committed to a reduction in non-ETS emissions in the period 2013-2020, rising to 20% by 2020 relative to 2005. The EU is also committed to reducing its ETS emissions to 21% below 2005 levels by 2020. The EU has also set itself the target of increasing the share of renewables in energy use to 20% by 2020. Under burden sharing for this EU target, Denmark is committed to reaching a 30% share of renewables in energy use by 2020.
