Principles and goals of the German government's climate policy - Executive Summary - In their coalition agreement of 2013, the CDU, CSU and SPD agreed that "in the light of the European targets and the outcomes of the 2015 Climate Change Conference in Paris, in Germany we want to define an emissions reduction pathway with a final target of 80 to 95 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 by 2050. We will augment this target with concrete measures, drawn up through a broad dialogue (Climate Action Plan)." The agreement gives all parties the clear task of consistently implementing the necessary climate measures. For the European Union (EU) and Germany this means resubmitting or updating their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) by 2020 and, as of 2025 for the post-2030 period, making their NDCs progressively more ambitious.
This Act lays down new rules for the development and use of land in Scotland. For this purpose, it makes substantial amendments to the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The principal matters that are subject of these new provisions are the system of development plans, the opportunities for community engagement in planning, the effective performance of planning authorities‘ functions, and a new way to fund infrastructure development. The Act is part of a wider programme of reforms to the planning system as a whole.
Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK remains committed to its shared targets and reporting with the EU under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol. In December 2009, the European Council reiterated the conditional offer of the EU to move to a 30 % reduction by 2020 compared to 1990 levels as part of a global and comprehensive agreement for the period beyond 2012, provided that other developed
countries commit themselves to comparable emission reductions and that developing countries contribute adequately according to their sasponsibles and respective capabilities. Under the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (2013-2020) the EU has a collective target to reduce its emissions by 20% relative to basa year (1990) levels over the period. The burden sharing agreement, set out for the Doha Amendment,
translates efforts agreed under the EU 2020 Climate and Energy Package into the second commitment period of the KP. The Doha Amendment of the Kyoto Protocol entered into force on 31 December 2020. The calculation of the UK's Assigned Amount is set
out in UK's initial Report for the second commitment period, and results in an Assigned Amount of 2,744,937,332 assigned amount units (AAL) over the commitment period, where one AAU is equivalent to one 100,eq. a Reporting by a developed country Party on the information specified in the common tabular format does not prejudge the position of other Parties with regard to the treatment of units from market-based mechanisms under the Convention or other market-
based mechanisms towards achievement of quantified economy-wide emission reduction targets. bThis information could include information on the domestic legal status of the target or the total assigned amount of emission units for the period for reaching a target. Some of this information is presented in the namative part of the biennial report
The Ten Point Plan ensures that our recovery from coronavirus will be green, generate jobs and bolster the economy, whilst continuing to drive down emissions both now and in the future. There is however more to be done to achieve net zero by 2050, and the Ten Point Plan represents one more step on the path to ending the UK's contribution to global emissions once and for all. In the coming year, we will set out further plans for reducing emissions across all the UK's major economic sectors as outlined below, including our overall Net Zero Strategy, which will clearly set out our pathway to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. These efforts need to be undertaken in parallel with adaptation action, building resilience to the effects of climate change we are already experiencing. Climate change is a global issue, and the UK must use our own net zero ambition to encourage other nations to adopt similar targets. In November 2021, the UK will host the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Conference of the Parties (COP26), bringing together world leaders, climate experts, business leaders and citizens to agree ambitious action to tackle climate change. This December, the UK, along with the UN and France, will host a virtual leader-level Climate Ambition Summit to demonstrate the urgency of action and provide an important moment for international leaders to show they are committed to a greener, more resilient, sustainable path for the future. In 2015 at COP21, the UK played a leading role in securing the agreement of 195 parties to sign up to the historic Paris Climate Agreement, setting a goal of limiting global temperature increases to well below 2°C (vs pre-industrial levels) and to pursue efforts towards a 1.5°C goal. Whilst progress has been made through the Paris Agreement, current commitments will not achieve the temperature goals that were set, instead implying a devastating rise of around 3°C of warming by 2100. Increased action at COP26 is therefore vital, and we will use our COP26 Presidency role to work through five priority areas - Adaptation and Resilience, Zero Emission Vehicles, Energy Transition, Nature, and Finance. We are also considering the UK's revised Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), itself an embodiment of our efforts to reduce national emissions, and we will set this out by the Climate Ambition Summit. Our roadmap
Working alongside partners in industry, our aim is for the UK to develop 5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030 that could see the UK benefit from around 8,000 jobs across our industrial heartlands and beyond. This will be supported by a range of measures, including a 240 million Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, and setting out next year, our hydrogen business models and a revenue mechanism for them to bring through private sector investment.

As an island nation surrounded by water, we will also aggressively explore renewable opportunities afforded by our geography and geology, including tidal and geothermal. And we are actively exploring the potential for international projects to provide clean, affordable and secure power, for example by expanding the Contracts for Difference scheme. Low-carbon nuclear supplies 15 per cent of our electric lifeblood as a steady source of generation to complement intermittent renewables. Nuclear is the only form of reliable, low carbon electricity generation which has been proven at scale and returns more than a hundred times as much power as a solar site of the same size. We can only secure a big enough baseload of reliable power for our island by drawing on nuclear. Our aim is to lead the world once again in a technology we pioneered so that by 2050, up to a quarter of our power consumed in Great Britain is from nuclear. When Her Majesty The Queen opened the world's first nuclear power station at Calder Hall in Cumbria in 1956, she described being present at the making of history. The UK had indeed led the world as the first country to split the atom, and the first to pioneer this new form of power.

Harmonizing the available data and statistical reports and conducting new research to agree on the information available for the purposes of different reporting to international organizations in order to provide accurate, transparent and high quality reporting, as well as to create harmonized bases for the adoption of medium and long-term strategies in the forestry and wood processing sector. It implies mapping of forestry and timber industrial production. Encourage the use of wood products in traditional and new products in order to increase removals and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the wood storage facility. This also requires the regulation of exports of untreated and semi-treated timber, which encourages the development of the domestic timber industry, and the regulation of energy timber exports increases the share of energy production from renewable sources, thus fulfilling international commitments. Outflow-generating activities must be promoted to ensure that timber products and timber are used for energy purposes in ways that contribute to meeting both EU targets by 2030 (reducing emissions and increasing the share of renewables in total energy consumption) and are beneficial to climate and environment. Guidelines for further development should be drawn up based on the knowledge and experience gained from the implementation of this measure.
The strategy for the transition to a "green" economy for 2019-2030 involves: a) reduction of specific emissions per unit of GDP by 10% from the level of 2010; b) a twofold increase in the energy efficiency indicator and a decrease in the carbon intensity of GDP; c) development of renewable energy sources with bringing their share to 25% or more of the total volume of electricity generation;

https://www.nordicenergy.org/project/nordic-energy-technology-perspectives/ Nordic Energy Research, the platform for joint energy research and policy development under the Nordic Council of Ministers and jointly funded by the Nordic governments, published Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives 2016281 together with the International Energy Agency in 2016 and a report that examines regional long-term, cost-effective technology pathways with low carbon emissions for the Nordics. The study presents a detailed scenario-based analysis of how the Nordic countries can achieve a near carbon-neutral energy system in 2050 (Carbon Neutral Scenario, CNS) and compares this with a Nordic 4-degree scenario (4DS) that reflects the Nordic contribution to the IEA&#39;s global 4- degree scenario. The analysis in Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives 2016 is based on a scenario in which Nordic energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by 85 percent until 2050. The name -Carbon-Neutral Scenario (CNS)- reflects a wording used in official targets, although carbon neutrality requires measures for the remaining 15 percent. The path towards carbon dioxide reduction established in the CNS scenario should therefore be seen as a minimum requirement. For a limitation of global warming to 1.5 degrees, in line with the Nordic joint declaration on carbon dioxide neutrality from January 201922, it is likely that further measures to reduce emissions are required.
Figure 10: Emission developments of households (left) and the services sector (right) in Mt CO₂eq based on the 'Business as usual' and ZERO basis scenarios of the EP2050+. Source: Prognos/TEP Energy/Infras/Ecoplan 2020. Figure 10 shows the possible development of emissions from households and in the services sector according to EP2050+ to 2050. A reduction to zero for households is possible by 2050, but there are low levels of remaining emissions from older infrastructure in the services sector. The comparison with the 'Business as usual' scenario clearly shows that much greater efforts are needed to maintain the reduction pathway towards net-zero emissions. According to the EP2050+, the decarbonisation of the heating supply system is the first main lever for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of households. Heating supply will continue to make up the biggest part of energy requirements long-term. It is mainly met today by heating oil and natural gas. These fossil energies must be replaced by emission-free alternatives by 2050. Figure 11 shows the development of energy consumption in the ZERO basis scenario according to EP2050+.

The Czech Republic shows one of the highest energy intensity values compared to other EU member states6. The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan implements Article 7 of Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directive 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC, which sets a binding target for member states in the area of achieving savings on final energy consumption by 2020. This target corresponds to achieved new savings of 1.5% of the volume of annual energy sales to final customers. The latest update of the 4th National Energy Efficiency Action Plan from March 2016 sets an energy savings target of 50.67 PJ in 2020. The Czech Republic, by Government Resolution No. 923 of December 4, 2013, decided to choose an alternative scheme to meet the set target. At the same time, the original indicative goal of achieving a 9% reduction in the annual average energy consumption of the final user in the period 2008-2016, compared to the average consumption for the period 2002 to 2006, remains in force.
This document identifies tree cover as an essential instrument for the UK to mitigate its GHG emissions, adapt to adverse effects of climate change and create economic opportunities. It seeks to better protect existing woodland and expand cover. It calls on stakeholders to apply for grants, access and follow guidance, and plant the most adequate tree species. It further states that the state will create a monitoring and evaluation plan.
4 and 4(a). The latter shall be filled with "NA" for not applicable, with the explanation "Numbers for LULUCF are not reported because this sector is not included under the Convention target". The use of flexible mechanisms takes place on the one hand by operators in the EU ETS, on the other hand by governments for the achievement of ESD targets. For information on the use in the ETS please see the Third Biennial Report of the European Union (section 3.2.2.1). The use of flexible mechanisms in Slovakia currently takes place only by operators in the EU ETS. Slovakia is not planning to use international credits in the ESD scheme for meeting the annual trajectory target. Slovakia is well on track for meeting its emission reduction targets resulting from international and EU commitments. In 2015 anthropogenic GHG emissions decreased by 44.6% compared to 1990. Considering EU commitment for sectors covered by the EU ETS and sectors not covered by the EU ETS and covered by the ESD to decrease its emissions by 20% compared to 1990 Slovakia is also on the track to meet its commitments. GHG emissions in the ETS decreased in 2015 by 16.05% compared to 2005 and ESD emissions, even Slovakia has positive target of 13% up to 2020, decreased in 2015 by 23.24% compared to 2005.
