The climate protection tasks related to forestry include: The support for afforestations should be differentiated according to the mode of cultivation: higher support for the afforestation of arable lands and lower support for the afforestation of grazing lands previously under agricultural use. By increasing the size of forests, the total area of Hungarian forests is expected to rise by 270,000 to 360,000 hectares until 2025. Provided that native trees suitable for the habitat are planted in the framework of afforestations, 25 to 33 million tons of carbon dioxide can be captured by 2025, or even 47 to 58 million in case of planting fast-growing tree species (acacia, poplar, pines). On the other hand, it is obvious that planting tree species with higher carbon absorption is not everywhere desirable owing to nature conservation considerations. Before afforestations/plantation developments, land use aspects and the expected negative effects of the climate change should also be taken into account. For example, forests created in grazing lands may result in net carbon sinking only years later, and for several years, it may emit more carbon dioxide due to the carbon dioxide emissions from the soil. Promoting awareness raising in order to increase the social and economic support for forests, and coordinated measures in order to fight off illegal timber logging.

With the realization of investments of this dimension, it is intended to obtain important results such as (see Annex for more details): support the acquisition of clean public transport fleets (145 buses) and respective charging/supply stations; contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030, in accordance with the National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (PNEC 2030) and the Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality; award 100,000 vouchers to support efficient energy solutions for families in energy poverty. This component aims to develop a structural, lasting and impactful response, paving the way for the construction of a more competitive, more cohesive and more inclusive economy of the sea, but also more decarbonized and sustainable, with greater capacity to take advantage of the opportunities arising from climate transitions and digital. In line with these principles, the Sea component will contribute to the national options related to the reinforcement of the national productive potential, seeking to guarantee conditions of sustainability and competitiveness of the business fabric linked to the sea, as well as assuming the ambition to combat some of the pockets of poverty located in coastal communities, and ensure a territory that is both competitive and cohesive in a context of adaptation to climate and digital transitions. In terms of preserving the value of oceanic ecosystem services, this component will unequivocally contribute to the &quot;Health of the Oceans&quot;. In addition, it will contribute to strengthening the country&#39;s operational, training and scientific capacity.
The government will invest £140 million to fund new hydrogen and industrial carbon capture business models, which includes up to £100 million to award contracts of up to 250MW of electrolytic hydrogen production capacity in 2023, with further allocations in 2024. The funding will be part of a package of governmental support, which includes the £1 billion CCS Infrastructure Fund and £240 million Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, both laid out in the Ten Points Plan.
The UK government and Ofgem have announced plans for smart technologies to help consumers cut their bills, as demand for electricity intensifies and fossil fuels are being phased out in the UK. The plans would address novel energy security needs and respond to the increasing urgency to consume cleaner energy from renewable sources without disruption. Deployment of smart technology across the grid could create 24 thousand UK jobs and reduce the cost of system management by 10 billion GBP a year by 2050.

It can be seen that the WAM approach has a significant impact on GHG reduction in addition to WEM and forestry impacts positive impact on GHG reduction by 2030. The general application of WAM will have a positive effect on the general reduction of GHG emissions in all anthropogenic
Discretionary requirements: enforcement E+W+N.I. 14 (1) Provision under paragraph 12 may include provision for a person to pay a monetary penalty (a "non-compliance penalty") to an administrator if the person fails to comply with a non-monetary discretionary requirement imposed on the person. E+W+N.I. (2) Provision under sub-paragraph (1) may- (a) specify the amount of the non-compliance penalty or provide for that amount to be determined in accordance with the regulations, or (b) provide for the amount to be determined by the administrator or in some other way. (3) If the regulations make provision within sub-paragraph (2)(b), they must, in relation to each kind of failure for which a non-compliance penalty may be imposed- (a) specify the maximum penalty that may be imposed for a failure of that kind, or (b) provide for that maximum to be determined in accordance with the regulations. (4) Provision under sub-paragraph (1) must secure that- (a) the non-compliance penalty is imposed by notice served by the administrator, and (b) the person on whom it is imposed may appeal against that notice. (5) Provision pursuant to paragraph (b) of sub-paragraph (4) must secure that the grounds on which a person may appeal against a notice referred to in that sub-paragraph include the following- (a) that the decision to serve the notice was based on an error of fact; (b) that the decision was wrong in law; (c) that the decision was unfair or unreasonable for any reason (including, in a case where the amount of the non-compliance penalty was determined by the administrator, that the amount is unreasonable).
In June 2021, the European Commission adopted a package of proposals to adapt EU policies on climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% below 1990 levels by 2030. Achieving these emission reductions over the next decade is key to making Europe the world's first climate-neutral continent by 2050 and to making the European Green Deal a reality. With the proposals, the Commission is presenting the legislative tools to achieve the objectives agreed in the European climate legislation and the fundamental transformation of our economy and society for a fair, green and prosperous future. The EU ETS sectors are expected to reduce emissions by 61% (compared to 2005 levels), the ETS will be strengthened and reformed for this purpose. Sectors not covered by the ETS are expected to reduce emissions by 40% (compared to 2005 levels), in the case of the Slovak Republic the national objective is increased from 12% to 22.7%. At least 27% of the EU's energy consumption from renewable energy sources. At least 27% improvement in energy efficiency. Legislative proposals are discussed in the European Parliament and the Council, with a period of 18 months for implementation in national legislation.
On the one hand, expand the object of FEDA to the activities of cogeneration and trigeneration or combined generation of electricity, heat and cold or other forms of energy, which is a highly efficient form of production, the promotion of which it is considered a priority by the European Union (Directive 2004/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council). Although FEDA already participates in cogeneration activities at the Andorra Waste Treatment Center, under the protection of the Law of 31-10-2002, relating to that facility, and has a pilot project underway in Soldeu, the future development of other cogeneration activities makes it necessary to formalize the expansion of its object to the distribution of heat, especially when for reasons of efficiency renewable energies can be used (biomass, geothermal, solar,... ). On the other hand, allow the installation of photovoltaic solar panels of small power, and the production of any type of renewable energy with a power of less than 500 kW, with the possibility of transferring its production to the network. This is also a practice in accordance with the policy of the European Union regarding the promotion of renewable energies, which has been regulated for years in the countries around us, and which due to its low impact on the balance of the network electricity would be viable without the need for modification of the current regulatory framework, if it did not conflict with the exclusive regime attributed to the Administration in the matter of electricity production. To make the installation of this type of generator possible, it is therefore necessary to establish an express exception to that regime. It also seems urgent to establish quality standards for the distribution of electrical energy, which would make the conditions of service in the Principality similar to those governing the countries around us. These are rules that will modify the current Provisional Regulation of the distribution of 1975, and the heterodox nature of this provision, which was approved by the Permanent Delegates in the regime prior to the constitution, and has been modified by Government decree subsequently.

Environment Exiting from coal in 2033 at the latest is most consistent with international, EU and national energy and climate goals (based on the Paris Agreement and with the EU&#39;s strengthened climate ambitions until 2030). In addition to climate impacts and energy opportunities, the exit from coal in 2033 at the latest has the least impact on the surface and further spatial and environmental devaluation associated with mining and related activities, and the most impact on human health. Due to the expected minor impacts on the devaluation of the environment, the exit from coal in 2033 at the latest is based on support for existing PV efforts and on-going spatial and environmental rehabilitation. Long-term monitoring of the impacts of mining on the environment will be ensured, including existing PV capacities and know-how, and at the same time a system will be established for comprehensive monitoring of the environmental effects of exiting coal. i In the event of a successful exit from coal and restructuring of the region and coal-related companies, the relevant knowledge and experience will be able to be exported on a global level. Energy From 2020, the use of coal in the EU member states is rapidly decreasing (phasing out), and the prices of emission coupons are increasing. In connection with this, issues of the financial stability of the HSE will have to be addressed, including the early repayment of TE&#39;s debt. The scenario opens up opportunities for greater investments in the energy transition process, in the region and beyond, with a special emphasis on sustainable energy sources. The deficit of domestic electricity production and the harmonization of goals regarding the necessary investments in the energy sector, which will be a direct or indirect consequence of the implementation of the strategy, must be addressed at the national level in the NEPN, which will be adopted in 2024, whereby all the necessary professional bases will be prepared beforehand. The scenario requires decisive measures to ensure an alternative source of heat for the district heating system in the aleka Valley. The exit from coal in 2033 at the latest brings an opportunity for a new positioning of Slovenia on the international energy market and for promoting a more diverse supply, including a significant increase in RES. The exit from coal in 2033 at the latest will be supported by the immediate preparation of a legal framework for the closure of a
(26) In accordance with Article 19(3), point (e), of and Annex V, criterion 2.5, to Regulation (EU) 2021/241, the RRP contains measures that contribute to a large extent (Rating A) to the green transition, including biodiversity, or to addressing the challenges resulting therefrom. The measures supporting climate objectives account for an amount which represents 60,9% of the RRP's total allocation, calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Annex VI to Regulation (EU) 2021/241. In accordance with Article 17 of that Regulation, the RRP is consistent with the information included in Luxembourg's National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030.

The UK's Adaptation Communication provides further detail on UK domestic and international adaptation ambition and action. 10 UK Climate Change Act (2008) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2008/27/contents The Environment (Wales) Act (2016)¹¹ requires Welsh Ministers to reduce all emissions in Wales by at least 80% by 2050, against a 1990/1995 baseline. In 2018 the Senedd endorsed the CCC's recommendations and set Wales's targets for 2020 (27%), 2030 (45%) and 2040 (67%), as well as Wales's first two carbon budgets (2016-20 and 2021-25). Following further advice from the CCC, in 2021 the Welsh Government will ask the Senedd to legislate more ambitious targets to 2050, including for 2030. Northern Ireland contributes to UK-wide carbon budgets. Northern Ireland's current energy strategy is set out in the Strategic Energy Framework for the period 2010-20.¹2 Northern Ireland's Department for the Economy is progressing the development of a new longer-term energy strategy to cover the period 2020 to 2050 within the context of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.

Action on buildings can rapidly support jobs and level-up across the country. In addition to supporting around 50,000 jobs by 2030, today's announcements provide an opportunity to develop the growing UK heat pump manufacturing base and expand supply chains for building efficiency. Funding and regulatory measures, delivered in partnership with industry, will stimulate near-term investment whilst supporting the most vulnerable. implement the Future Home Standard in the shortest possible timeline, and consult shortly on increased standards for non-domestic buildings so that new buildings have high levels of energy efficiency and low carbon heating. As is the common theme across this plan, we want to stimulate investment and manufacturing in the UK. We will aim for 600,000 heat pump installations per year by 2028, creating a market led incentive framework to drive growth, and will bring forward regulations to support this especially in off gas grid properties. This ambition still leaves open the choice as to whether we ultimately pursue hydrogen heating, an electrified heating system, or a mixture of both, whilst we continue to pilot the options. We are providing 1 billion to extend the schemes announced by the Chancellor earlier in the year to further kickstart this market. We will extend the Green Homes Grant for another year to improve the energy efficiency of homes and replace fossil fuel heating. We will reduce emissions in schools, hospitals and public buildings by further funding for Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. We will transform the lives of more homeowners who live off the gas grid, particularly in rural areas, with upgrades to their heating systems through the Homes Upgrade Grant. And we will commit to further funding for the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund to continue upgrading the least efficient social housing.
The 'For a healthy climate (Glacier Initiative)', submitted at the end of November 2019, seeks to enshrine the objectives of the Paris Agreement in the constitution. It calls for Switzerland to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 at the latest. According to the initiative, no fossil heating and motor fuels can be sold from 2050 whereby exemptions are permitted if no technical alternatives are available. The remaining emissions are to be balanced by safe greenhouse gas reductions in Switzerland. This also applies to the climate impacts of international aviation. The initiative also calls for the definition of a reduction pathway, including interim goals, at legislative level which will, at the minimum, ensure a linear reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

The analysis shows that the final energy consumption in the WEM scenario will grow for 1.3 Mtoe by 2050 or by 73% compared to 2017 (Figure 17). Currently, 1/3 of the final energy is consumed by the transport sector, another third by the residential sector, 21% by the industry, 12% by the commercial sector, and around 1% in agriculture. By 2050, the highest increase is estimated for consumption in the industry sector (from 0.4 Mtoe to 1.2 Mtoe), which is related to the GDP growth projections. Over the analysed period, a significant increase of 55% (around 0.3 Mtoe) is also estimated for the consumption in the transport sector. The consumption in the commercial sector will grow for 0.08 Mtoe and in the residential sector for 0.07 Mtoe, which represents an increase of 38% and 13%, respectively, over the period 2017 - 2050. In terms of the share in the final energy consumption in 2050, the highest share will have the industry sector - 38%, followed by the transport sector - 30%, then the residential sector with 21% and commercial sector with 10%, while the remaining 1% will be for the agriculture sector.
