Within the EU ETS, the covered sectors, which account for about 45% of EU emissions, must reduce their emissions by 43% by 2030 compared to 2005. According to the 2030 Envirostrategy, Slovakia has also set the target as its national target for ETS. The high emission intensity of the Slovak economy suggests that the cost of economic adjustment for energy-intensive sectors is likely to be high, but the intensity may also indicate that the country has great potential for cost-effective emission reductions (if adequate and welltargeted policies and investments exist). According to scenarios with additional measures (WAM) resulting from WB modelling, a reduction of CO emissions by 53.46 % should be achieved in the EU ETS in 2030 compared to 2005 levels. According to scenarios with additional measures (WAM) modelled in the SHMI, the ETS should achieve reductions of total emissions by 40.5% in 2030 compared to 2005. Thus, additional efforts beyond the measures in the WAM scenarios are envisaged on the Slovak side to meet the national emission reduction target in the ETS sector.
This Notice of the Commissioner of the Anguilla Police Force grants all fishers that have pots or other fishing apparatus at a onetime opportunity as set out in this Notice to recover or safely store those pots or other fishing apparatus. The grace period does not allow any fishing to take place and is confined to recovery and safe stowage only. Any fish recovered in this period are exempt and are not to be considered as caught in contravention of this Directive.
During the negotiations with the European Union in 2001, Hungary undertook to at least double the proportion of produced renewable energy in its total energy consumption from 3.6 percent by 2010, and to raise the proportion of electricity consumption from 1 percent to at least 3.6 percent. The country already met this ratio - which is one of the most modest commitments in the entire EU - in 2005, and the share of green energy in electricity and total energy production already exceeded 5 percent in 2005, but at the same time this was largely accounted for by forest trees. we achieved it by burning it in low-efficiency thermal power plants, which cannot be a long-term solution. According to the Renewable Energy Strategy of Hungary prepared by the government in parallel with NS, by 2020 the weight of alternative energy production within the total energy consumption will be a maximum of 16 percent, and that of green energy within the electricity consumption will be a maximum of 18 percent.

The central obligation is to take appropriate steps to assist the Secretary of State in meeting the net zero target, including by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from sources such as flaring, venting and power generation, supporting carbon capture and storage projects, and unlock clean hydrogen production. OGA encourages and supports industry to be proactive in identifying and taking the steps necessary to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as far as reasonable in the circumstances;
The target levels have been set on the basis of Member States' relative Gross Domestic Product per capita. Up to certain limitations, the ESD allows Member States to make use of flexibility provisions for meeting their annual targets: carry-over of over-achievements to subsequent years within each Member State, transfers of AEAs between Member States and the use of international credits (credits from the Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism). While the EU ETS target is to be achieved by the EU as a whole, the ESD target is divided into national targets to be achieved individually by each Member State (see Figure 3.1). Under the Effort Sharing Decision, national emission targets for 2020 are set, expressed as percentage changes from the 2005 levels. These changes have been transferred into binding quantified annual reduction targets for the period from 2013 to 2020 (Commission Decisions 2013/162/EU, 2013/634/EU and 2017/1471), denominated in Annual Emission Allocations (AEAS) 10,11,12. At the country level, 2020 targets under the ESD range from -20% to +20% compared to the 2005 levels. appliances and other sources, agriculture and waste. Such sources accounted for 55% of the total GHG emissions in the EU over 2013º.

Germany is pursuing ambitious climate change mitigation goals. The German government established its goal of achieving extensive greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050 in its Climate Action Plan 2050. To this end, it plans to gradually reduce greenhouse gas emissions: by at least 55 % by 2030 and by at least 70 % by 2040 compared with 1990. The Climate Action Plan 2050 broke down the emissions reduction target for 2030 into specific sector targets for the energy industry, buildings, transport, industry and agriculture. 2.2 European target

These members will show that, instead, through the use of positive means and better cooperation with business, the CO₂ obligations imposed on Norway can be met, while at the same time the interests of business and consumers can be better safeguarded. In this context, these members point to the fact that NHO&#39;s voter guide in 2009 gave the Progress Party, as the only party, a full score on climate policy. The majority of the committee, all except the members from the Progress Party, have noted that such a development, according to the UN climate panel, will require the world&#39;s overall emissions of greenhouse gases to be reduced by 50-85 per cent by 2050 compared to the level in 2000. This will only be possible if emissions are reduced in industrialized countries, emerging economies and developing countries. For every year that passes without the emission trend being reversed, and without more measures that increase carbon absorption being implemented, it becomes increasingly more demanding and expensive to avoid the most serious climate changes.

According to the 2020-2030 energy strategy, the country has the opportunity to increase the share of renewable energy sources (hydro, wind and solar), and thus reduce the share of imported electricity and generation of imported thermal power plants, thereby increasing the degree of energy independence and clean energy. In December 2019, the Law on Encouraging the Production and Use of Energy from Renewable Sources, adopted by the Parliament of Georgia, provides a legal basis for mechanisms to promote the production of renewable energy, the so-called "development of support schemes". Such mechanisms in international practice are the "Premium Tariff", "Green Certificate", "Price Difference Agreement" and "Special Green Tariff". The purpose of these mechanisms is to facilitate the production of electricity from renewable energy sources (hydro, wind, solar). Also, according to this law, by the end of 2020 the government must approve the support schemes developed by the Ministry, which include incentives, schemes or mechanisms for the use of energy from renewable sources, including biomass, in Georgia, such as: investment assistance, tax exemption or reduction, Tax refund. By 2021, the rules for announcing and conducting a competitive auction to encourage the production of energy from renewable sources and the granting and revoking of the status of privileged producer of energy from renewable sources should be adopted.
Units under other schemes U.K. 20 (1) The regulations may make provision for recognising any of the following as equivalent to certificates under the trading scheme- U.K. (a) allowances, credits or certificates under another trading scheme for which provision is made by regulations under this Part of this Act; (b) units under any other trading scheme (at United Kingdom, European or international level) relating to greenhouse gas emissions. (2) The regulations may provide- (a) for determining the value for the purposes of the scheme of any such allowances, credits, certificates or units, and (b) for the use for the purposes of the scheme of any such allowances, credits, certificates or units to be subject to such conditions and limitations as may be specified in or determined in accordance with the regulations.
These Regulations amend the Pollution Prevention and Control (Industrial Emissions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013 to implement Directive 2015/2193/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from medium combustion plant, which lays down rules to control emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust from MCPs. An MCP is a combustion plant with a rated thermal input equal to or greater than 1 megawatt but less than 50 megawatts. An MCP cannot operate without a permit or being registered.
This strategic policy document sets out a target of 5GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity in the UK by 2030. According to the government, the use of low carbon hydrogen enabled by 5GW production capacity could deliver total emissions savings of around 41MtCO2
e between 2023 and 2032, equivalent to the carbon captured by 700 million trees over the same time period.
This Act brings about a comprehensive reform of the law relating to land rights and land planning and management in Scotland. It contains provisions that aim to: ensure the development of an effective system of land governance and on-going commitment to land reform in Scotland; address barriers to furthering sustainable development in relation to land and improve the transparency and accountability of land ownership; and demonstrate commitment to effectively manage land and rights in land for the common good, through modernising and improving specific aspects of land ownership and rights over land. Fundamental principles of the Act are equality, social justice and sustainability. The Act establishes the office of the Scottish Land Commission and the office of the Tenant Farming Commissioner. It amends the Agricultural Holdings Act and Act provides with respect to a right to buy land to further sustainable development, including land for local food growing. The Act aims at developmentof the tenanted agricultural sector, both as a route into farming, and in order to provide security for farms businesses and to provide greater flexibility for businesses to expand and grow through the sector through the let-in and out of land.
It provides also for specific matters such as rights of (agricultural) tenants, entry in the valuation roll of shootings and deer forests, common good land, guidance in engaging communities in decisions relating to land and community involvement in local deer management. The Act imposes a duty on the Scottish Ministers to review the legislation governing small landholdings.
4. Targets The national mandatory target for Bulgaria to achieve is that 16% of the total final energy consumption in the country in 2020 should be from renewable sources, considering that the country receives the lowest additional increase (6,6%) compared to the rest of member states. The national target must be achieved through increase of electricity production from renewable sources, of the final energy consumption from renewable sources for heating and cooling purposes and of the energy demand from renewable sources in the transport. Of all sector targets, only the one for consumption of renewable sources in the transport sector is mandatory 10-percent of the energy consumed by the transport by 2020 shall be from renewable sources.
The climate-energy package introduces a dual approach to achieve a 20% reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels, France. This objective is divided into two sub-objectives, one for ETS sectors (subject to the European emissions trading scheme) and another for non-ETS sectors (EU, 2009). Under the revised EU-ETS Directive, a single EU-ETS cap covers the EU Member States and the three non-EU participating States (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), i.e. that there are no longer any ceilings differentiated by country for the sectors concerned. For the allowances allocated to the sectors included in the EU-ETS, annual caps have been set for the period from 2013 to 2020; these fall by 1.74% per year, starting from the average level of allowances issued by the Member States during the second period (2008-2012). The annual caps imply intermediate emission reduction targets in the sectors covered by the EU-ETS for each year until 2020. For further information on the EU-ETS and information on the use of the market in the ETS, the biannual report of Europe can be consulted. Emissions not covered by the ETS are dealt with under the Effort Sharing Decision (ESD). The ESD covers emissions from all sources not covered by the EU-ETS, except emissions from international maritime transport and international and European air transport (the latter have been included in the ETS since 1 January

residential and tertiary sector. Apart from the introduction of natural gas and RES, the measures concern actions for the improvement of the
thermal behavior of residential sector buildings and promotion of energy efficiency appliances and heating equipment. These actions are supported
significantly by the incorporation in the Greek legislation of the Directive 2002/91/EC by Law 3661/08 "Measures to reduce the energy
consumption of buildings"; the Law 4122/2013 "Energy performance of buildings" (transposition of Directive 2010/31/EE); the Law 3855/2010
"Measures to improve energy efficiency in end-use, energy services and other provisions" (transposition of Directive 2006/32/EC); the adoption
and application of the "Energy Performance of Buildings Regulation" (KENAK); and the transposition to the Greek legislation of European
Directive 27/2012/EU by Law 4342/2015. GHG emissions from the transport sector present a declining trend mainly due to economic crisis. Nevertheless they are still considerable both in
Greece and in European Union, and, consequently the implementation of suitable policies and restriction measures is required. The main axes of
