The main target indicator: By 2030, the Republic of Uzbekistan will join the 50 leading countries of the world according to the Global Innovation Index. Priority areas: development of science, ingenuity and technology transfer; improvement of the system of financing innovation activities; development of infrastructure and information and communication technologies; improvement of the education system and development of human capital: development of competition and reduction of administrative barriers. Goal: Achieve sustainable economic progress that promotes social development, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, climate and environmental sustainability by integrating green economy principles into ongoing structural reforms. Main target indicator: By 2030, reduction of specific greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 10% from the level of 2010. Priority areas: on the basis of CCGT and GTU, full equipment of electricity consumption systems with automatic control and metering devices; thermal power engineering: introduction of new technologies for generating thermal energy, modernization and reconstruction of outdated equipment of boiler houses, equipping consumers with modern metering devices, use of solar collectors for heating water in boiler houses; oil and gas industry: reduction of natural gas losses during its production, processing, transportation and distribution through the modernization of compressor stations, low and medium pressure gas distribution networks, as well as the gas transmission system with the introduction of effective hydrocarbon resource loss control technologies (SCADA), the introduction of alternative energy sources at oil and gas production facilities. Target by 2025 electricity alternative 20%; By 2030, consumption will be up to 40 doges By 2030: a two-fold decrease - the development of more electric supply is inexpensive up to 100%
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. DESNZ does not estimate emissions outside the UK associated with UK consumption, however the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs publishes estimates of the UKs carbon footprint annually. For the purposes of reporting, greenhouse gas emissions are allocated into a small number of broad, high-level sectors known as National Communication sectors, which are 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. This is a National Statistics publication and complies with the Code of Practice for Statistics.

The Agreement is a multilateral, legally binding agreement, which is already in force and will take effect from 2020. The Agreement aims to hold the increase in global temperature to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels through the phasing out of fossil fuels. The Paris Agreement requires all Parties to reduce emissions from fossil fuels through "nationally determined contributions" (NDCs) and to scale up these efforts in the years ahead. Malta's NDC forms part of the EU's joint target under the EU Energy and Climate Package, which aims to reduce emissions by 40% from all sectors by 2030. The 2030 climate and energy framework sets three key targets for the year 2030: at least 40% cuts in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels, at least 27% share of energy would come from renewable energy resources and at least 27% improvement in energy efficiency.

Other greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector will continue to decrease in the period 2020-2030 to 17.8 [16.7-18.0] Mton of CO equivalents (a reduction of 0.4 Mton). In the same period, methane emissions will decrease by around 0.5 Mton of CO equivalents and nitrous oxide emissions will decrease by around 0.2 Mton of CO equivalents. The reduction in methane emissions is mainly due to the assumed decrease in the number of young cows (by a further 16%) and further reduction of the ratio of young cows per milk cow from 0.63 in 2020 to 0.56 by 2030. In addition, the number of pigs will be reduced by 5% as a result of the agreements stipulated in the Coalition Agreement 2017 (concerning scaling back of pig farming). The number of dairy cows will also decrease by 5% in the period up to 2030, but this will not result in a reduction in methane emissions. The reason for this is that milk production per cow will increase by 1.25% in the period up to 2030, as will the associated extra feed intake. Although feed intake will rise at a slower rate than milk production per cow, this will result in a net increase in methane emissions per cow. The practice of manure fermentation (in the form of co-fermentation) slowly increased over the period 2006-2014, after which it stabilised. The current SDE+ subsidy programme focuses solely on energy production (i.e. avoidance of CO emissions), and therefore does not pay any attention to methane emissions stemming from manure storage. In 2017, methane emissions from manure fermentation decreased by 0.13 Mton of CO equivalents. It has been assumed that without additional policies, both manure fermentation and reduction of methane emissions stemming from
• Türkiye's updated first NDC is expected to increase the reduction target to 41% compared to the business-as-usual level by 2030. • Moreover, the updated NDC aims peak emissions by, at the latest, 2038.

Warsaw 2008. 19 According to the data of the National Water Management Authority (KZGW), almost 100% of peat bogs in Poland show signs of drainage, and approximately 80% of bogs show symptoms of significant degradation caused by drainage. Out of 1.3 million hectares of bogs, only 202 thousand. ha (approx. 15%) are peat bogs in good condition. 20 State Control &quot;, Supreme Audit Office, No.1 special, April 2011. OECD Urban Policy Reviews: Poland 2011, OECD 2011, OECD Publishing. 21 Waste management is one of the most difficult areas of environmental protection. In 2012, 74.7% 2 of collected municipal waste was disposed of in landfills, resulting in a loss of raw materials, energy and space. The high percentage of waste sent to landfills is a challenge, considering that, compared to OECD countries, the amount of municipal waste generated in Poland per capita annually is relatively small and amounts to 320 kg, with an average of 520 kg in OECD countries24. In addition, there is only one municipal waste incineration plant in Poland with low processing capacity, which is definitely insufficient on a national scale. Environmental protection contributes to the dynamic development of the innovation and service market. About 8% of all investments in Poland are projects related to environmental protection, on which approximately PLN 20 billion is spent annually. Until now, most modern technologies have been developed outside Poland. The under-financing of research centers, the lack of adequate support for the implementation stages and the lack of appropriate technical facilities for enterprises may lead to the marginalization of the Polish market of modern environmental protection techniques.
(1) for afforestations (A), the model CASMOFOR was used, for all other forests (managed forests, MF), the CASMOFOR-NFI model was used. For the non-forestry sectors, projected emissions and removals were estimated by using exactly the same system that is used for the GHG inventory. This system takes the area of the various "land remaining the same land" and "converted to" land use/change categories. Currently, no other changes in the system is assumed in the projections. For the land use and land use change scenarios, only a "WEM" type scenario could be developed.
The analysis conducted by the Commission indicates that the policies and objectives already established in the EU will allow a reduction in its GHG emissions of around 45% by 2030 and by around 60% by 2050. However, this figure falls far short of the 80%-95% reductions in GHG emissions that will be needed for the EU to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 and adequately contribute to the goal to be long-term temperature policy set out in the Paris Agreement.
This document is the UK's policy response to the COVID-19-induced economic crisis. It outlines a number of stimulus measures, including a "green homes grant" scheme budgeted at 2 billion pounds aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, and a 1.1 billion pound plan to decarbonise the public sector and social housing. The Green Homes Grant scheme introduced as part of this policy response was discontinued in March 2021.
1. The purpose of this Act is for Denmark to reduce green- house gas emissions in 2030 by 70% compared to the level of emissions in 1990, and for Denmark to achieve a climate-neu- tral society by 2050 at the latest, taking into account the Paris Agreement target of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The new 2030 climate and energy framework of January 2014 contains the Commission's proposals for climate and energy targets for the post-2020 period. The European Council made a decision on the package in October 2014. Its only target that is directly binding to the Member States concerns reducing emission in the non-ETS sectors. However, the EU wishes to continue promoting renewable energy use and improving energy efficiency after 2020. Common EU targets were thus agreed upon for these areas. A binding EU level target, or at least a 27% share of renewable energy consumption by 2030, was set. An indicative EU level target of at least 27% was set for improvement in energy efficiency by 2030. The target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is set to at least 40 % (compared to 1990 level) by 2030. The target for reducing emissions is 43% in the ETS sector and 30% in the non-ETS sectors compared to 2005.
In the framework of the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, the countries of the European Union have committed themselves to working together to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions by 20 % by 2020, with respect to the base year (1990 or 1995105). Germany has set itself the national goal of reducing its GHG emissions by at least 40 %, with respect to 1990 levels, by 2020.

This supports the advice of the UK Committee on Climate Change (CCC) which recently highlighted the importance of better collaboration across parliaments in addressing the The Committees’ principal focus for COP26 is examining how parliaments can contribute to solutions to the climate crisis and effectively hold governments to account. The Committee also agreed a series of key objectives for engagement • improve our scrutiny on climate change by learning from international • develop lasting partnerships with national and international organisations and legislatures to support climate change work over the • support our operational work to scrutinise climate change work, and • co-ordinate, plan and deliver further opportunities offered through COP26 engagement as the UK retains COP26 presidency into 2021. The Committee would welcome an opportunity to explore your interest in engaging with this, alongside parliamentary committees across the UK. This could culminate in a joint meeting at COP26. The focus of this meeting would be agreed collaboratively, but could • cross UK challenges by issue or theme, such as transport, agriculture and land use or energy; and/or

A substantial hydrogen programme is to be initiated under this Climate Agreement. The programme will chiefly focus on unlocking the supply of green hydrogen, the development of the necessary infrastructure and collaboration with various sectoral programmes, as well as the facilitation of ongoing initiatives and projects. This programme will also allow the synergy between infrastructure and the use of hydrogen to be advanced. It is crucial that this programme focus on incremental scaling of the production of green hydrogen using sustainable electricity in the short term. This is due to the following: The necessary large-scale production of green hydrogen requires a rapid price reduction of electrolysers and the price of renewable electricity. In respect of electrolysers, a reduction of 65% on the capex of electrolysers must (and, according to the expectations of relevant market parties, can) be realised through upscaling in the lead-up to 2030, from approximately 100 million per 100 MW at present to 35 million per 100 MW, and to 3 - 4 GW of established electrolysis capacity as a result of scaling." In conjunction with the expectations regarding the costs of renewable electricity generation, green hydrogen may become competitive in time. A sufficient volume of renewable electricity is required in order to accommodate the demand for green hydrogen. In this regard, attention should be paid to ensure some link to the growth of electrolysis capacity and the growth of offshore wind energy. Consideration should also be given to the way in which the capacity, use and location of electrolysis plants could contribute to the integration of renewable electricity into the energy system. The impact on infrastructure should be included in the comprehensive infrastructure survey for 2030-2050 that GasUnie and TenneT will carry out in 2020. Given the Netherlands' excellent starting position regarding the production and use of hydrogen, the Netherlands will be able to take a leading position in this field if our country is able to take the lead in developments. This programme aims to have realised 3 - 4 GW of established capacity of electrolysers by 2030, with development being in alignment with the additional growth of the share of renewable electricity.

The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property)(England and Wales) Regulations 2015 establish a minimum level of energy efficiency for privately rented property in England and Wales. This means that, from April 2018, landlords of privately rented domestic and non-domestic property in England or Wales must ensure that their properties reach at least an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E before granting a new tenancy to new or existing tenants. These requirements will apply to all private rented properties in England and Wales, even where there has been no change in tenancy arrangements: from 1 April 2020 for domestic properties from 1 April 2023 for non-domestic properties
The Clean Growth Strategy presented major policies and plans that will cut the cost of energy, drive economic growth, create high value jobs right across the UK, and improve our quality of life. This call for evidence reaffirms that ambition by building on the commitment to phase out installation of high carbon fossil fuel heating in new and existing buildings off the gas grid, during the 2020s. The consultation document explains what we mean by this ambition, and seeks evidence on how we could implement it. The heating industry has a vital role to play. It is essential for installers, suppliers and manufacturers in the coal and oil sectors to show leadership. Government will listen to, and work with, our experienced heating experts from all sectors of the industry. Our heating industry must retain its position as a world leader, seeing this process as an opportunity to lead the change that is necessary, and not let the world change without them. Phasing out high carbon fossil fuel heating may be a challenge, but it is also an opportunity for new jobs, new skills, and investment in innovation, as well as greater comfort and convenience for our households and businesses. Moreover, what we do now to decarbonise buildings off the gas grid may pave the way for future decarbonisation of the wider building stock. We are seeking evidence from across society, in particular from both consumers and the heat market
This is essential so that we can explore the options available to take action during the 2020s and build consensus for that action.
