The Finance Act 2020 makes several provisions for changes to the UK's existing carbon tax and carbon pricing regimes. In particular, it brings into force changes to the rates of the Climate Change Levy previously announced by the Government. The changes to the Climate Change Levy reflect the changes in the fuel mix used in electricity generation and the increase in rates seeks to recover tax revenues lost due to the closing of the Carbon Reduction Committment (CRC) Energy Efficient Scheme. Schedule 12 of the Act also modified a number of provisions of UK law relating to Monitoring, Reporting and Verification for the purposes of Carbon taxes following the UK withdrawal from the European Union.
A call for smarter urban vehicle access regulations A call to action on urban logistics Targeted action on urban road safety Mobilising Intelligent Transport Systems for EU cities corresponding traffic information and management systems. The core network represents the strategically most important nodes and links of the trans-European transport network. It is multi-modal (including all transport modes and their connections as well as relevant traffic management systems) and the infrastructure included in this network will be a subset of the comprehensive network. The Core Network is to be completed by 2030 while the Comprehensive Network is to be completed by 2050. With the urban mobility package, the Commission set out how it will continue and reinforce its support for local action on urban mobility between 2014 and 2020. As part of this package the commission is actively promoting the concept of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans as a tool for supporting sustainable urban mobility.

As a result of the macroeconomic drivers, in the commercial and services sector in the WEM scenario there is an increase in final energy consumption by 38% in 2050 compared to 2017 (Figure 15). Nevertheless, greenhouse gas emissions in the same period decreased by about 20% due to greater penetration of natural gas technologies, renewable sources, greater use of district heating, but also the electrification of this sector, which is accompanied by an increase of RES for the production of that electricity. On the other hand, the improvement of the energy efficiency through the implementation of measures in this sector in the WAM scenario contributes to a final energy consumption of 27% lower in 2050 compared to the WEM scenario, so the final energy consumption remains at the same level during the planning period. The emissions in the WAM scenario have a drastic reduction of about 46% in 2050 compared to 2017 which is also a result of more intensive penetration of fuels with lower emission factors (electricity, natural gas and RES) and reduced use of oil in this sector. As is the case for the household sector, the direct emissions from the commercial and services sector are very small considering that electricity is the main energy source.

To ensure transparency when comparing and assessing options, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority NDA established the NDA value framework more than a decade ago. The latest version of the NDA Value Framework gives renewed focus on demonstrating sustainability and social value of decisions taken using the NDA Value Framework decision-criteria. The NDA mission is funded primarily by UK government and we must demonstrate to our stakeholders that we are spending the funds allocated to us on the right things and in the right way. Decisions taken during the delivery of our mission must deliver value for money.
In this context value for money is not about achieving the lowest cost, but rather about using resources in a way that maximises benefits for the cost. To determine what our stakeholders value in the delivery of our mission, we have worked together with them to develop the NDA Value Framework. The value framework is not a decision-making process but a set of decision-criteria against which performance of options for the delivery of our mission can be assessed. Applying the value framework ensures that the decisions consider the value that each option would deliver in relation to a range of different decision-criteria and offers a way to present a rational assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Applying the value framework in our decision-making means
Many of the decision-criteria in this updated version remain unchanged but we have simplified and improved the NDA value framework with a renewed focus on the linking the decision-criteria with sustainability reflecting both the ambition of stakeholders involved in nuclear decommissioning and the aspirations of wider UK government policy.

This category includes CO, emissions from the use of urea-based catalysts. Over the periods 1990 through 2019, the CO, emissions from the use of urea-based catalysts decreased in the RM by circa 37.4 per cent to the decrease of diesel oil consumption. The methodology used to estimate CO, emissions from use of urea-based catalysts, available in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventaries (Volume 2: Energy, Chapter

Circularity is an essential aspect of the transformation, in a broader sense, of the economy towards climate neutrality and long-term competitiveness. Circularity can produce significant material savings along value chains and production processes, generate added value and unlock economic opportunities. At the same time, it has a positive impact on the conservation of biodiversity and the quality of the environment. The multitude of actions that can be carried out to move towards a circular economy and with less carbon is an indispensable tool to achieve a good number of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations to which Andorra has adhered, mainly those that refer to climate change, biodiversity and sustainable consumption. It must also allow us to achieve the objectives that Andorra has set for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and move decisively towards carbon neutrality in the 2050 horizon by promoting a change in our habits of consuming goods and services, moving and eating, among others. This great importance of changing habits in the population has meant that to develop this Law a system of public participation has been launched with surveys both digitally and by telephone and interactive systems with the VISC digital platform, open to all the population, to collect and integrate, as far as possible, the proposals and options that the population is willing to accept. The survey carried out by CRES in the months of February and March 2020 indicates that nearly 90% of the population surveyed approves the ban on bags and other single-use plastic objects or that a system of return for beverage containers. On the other hand, the answers through the VISC platform indicate that in order to promote the circular economy, the useful life of products must be extended, preventive measures must be adopted in the generation of waste and the donation, exchange and the trade of objects that we no longer need, but that can still be used. At the same time, the repair and restoration of objects take on importance. It should be remembered, in relation to the repairability of products, that the current regulations provide that repaired products that are put back on the market for a new use are considered as used goods and the taxable persons who engage in the purchase and sale of these used goods can be accommodated in the special regime to avoid the over-impositions that occurred when applying to these transmissions the general regime of the foreseen IGI.
Forests will be a key part of the Finnish bioeconomy and therefore the NFS aims to increase the use of wood to replace fossil resources with renewable biomass. The objectives and measures in the National Energy and Climate Strategy for 2030 are consistent with the policy defined in the NFS regarding the increase in industrial roundwood and energy wood, and they will help achieve the target set by the directives on promoting the use of energy from renew able sources. The global economic development will greatly influence the achievements of the NFS goals. ucts, which affect the amount of domestic commercial roundwood fellings. 59 1093/1996 (amendment 1085/2013)
The policy framework for the period beyond 2020 is partly prepared and partly still in preparation in the EU. According to the European Council conclusions in 2014, the EU is committed to reducing total greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990. The reduction target from the 2005 levels in the emissions trading sector is 43 per cent, and in the non-emissions trading sector, it is 30 per cent. The share of renewable energy (of final energy consumption) in the EU was set to 32 per cent, and the target of energy efficiency was revised to 32.5 per cent in connection with the revision of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Directives in 2018.
The key goal we strive for is improving energy efficiency. The main indicator of this is the energy intensity of GDP. If the goals of reducing energy intensity twice by 2020 are achieved, this national indicator is expected to converge with the Community average, which will reflect in multilateral As a result of improving the efficiency of the energy sector and the introduction of direct use of natural gas and RES in the household, the ratio between final and total energy consumption reaches 58%. This means that the same energy needs of end users in 2020 will require 17% less primary energy resources compared to 2005, respectively 12% less compared to the Baseline scenario. The increase in the use of natural gas in households has a positive energy-saving and ecological effect, but it has a negative impact on the dependence on imported energy resources. By providing access to natural gas to 30% of households by 2020, natural gas imports will increase, resulting in increased dependence on oil and natural gas imports from 36.7% under the Baseline scenario (without gasification) and up to 48% at On this basis, two-year monitoring reports will be developed, including an analysis of the implementation of the set goals and priorities, proposals for changes in the existing mechanisms and legislative environment with a view to correcting negative trends in the implementation of the strategy and updating the estimated energy balance with horizons 10 and 20 years ahead.
According to the CBS data, the monthly distribution of passengers in all Croatian airports shows that the number of passengers starts to increase in March, reaches its peak in July and August, followed by a decline in September, and the lowest number of passengers in February. This is particularly pronounced on international flights because the air transport sector is directly connected to the summer season in Croatia. As a result of the pandemic, a large drop in the number of passengers was recorded, by 80% in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. In view of the new EU goals for a climate-neutral economy by 2050, the goal of greening transport is the development of an energy-efficient and sustainable transport sector by encouraging the growth of registered alternative-powered vehicles, developing the infrastructure for charging alternative-powered vehicles, and investing in energy efficiency and sustainability of air infrastructure. port. We especially emphasize that reforms and investments in all types of transport (railway, road, sea, air and public city transport and inland waterway transport) are included within the NPOO. Given that railway, road, maritime and waterway transport were dealt with in earlier reforms, this one includes air and public urban/road transport in terms of greening. The proposed reforms and investments also cover all regions territorially of Croatia, which greatly contributes to the RRF&#39;s goals of promoting economic, social and territorial cohesion and strengthening capacities for resilience and adaptation.
