In 2014 the NDA conducted a review of the 2010 UK nuclear Low Level Waste LLW strategy. Following the review DECC on behalf of UK and Devolved Governments are consulting on proposed changes to the strategy, with the aim of publishing an agreed final strategy in Autumn 2015. The review revealed widespread recognition that the policy had delivered a step change in LLW management and concluded that the nuclear strategy and implementation arrangements were generally considered to be working well and there was a clear appetite for stability and continuity. While the scope and direction of the original strategy remain unchanged, the consultation document reflects the progress that has been made since 2010. It also reflects the expected direction for Low Level Waste LLW management in the future.
Central to the strategy is the implementation of the waste hierarchy, which supports the provision of continued capability and capacity for the safe, secure and environmentally responsible management and disposal of LLW in the UK managing LLW in the UK. Strategic Environmental Assessment - Environment Report SEA
SEAs are a systematic process to ensure that environmental and sustainability considerations are taken into account by public authorities in the development of strategies, plans and programmes. As such an SEA was produced to accompany the 2010 UK nuclear LLW strategy. The SEA was included in the 2014 NDA review of the LLW Strategy, and has been updated as an integral part of that process by the NDA. The SEA is also published alongside the consultation as supporting material.
contributes to the decarbonization of the building sector, taking due account of technical feasibility and social compatibility. Today, the new building must be fit for the goal of GHG neutrality by 2045 and reliably minimize its often negative effects on the climate and the environment during construction, operation and demolition / subsequent use. The coalition agreement stipulates that the foundations should be created in order to take greater account of the use of gray energy and the life cycle costs of buildings. The coalition agreement also provides for a tightening of the energy standards for building operation as of January 1st, 2025 and for new construction funding that follows a holistic approach. The implementation takes place in a three-stage concept, with the first two stages of new construction funding starting on April 20, 2022 and April 21, 2022. Especially with the second stage, the BEG is already increasingly relying on an ambitious standard based on GHG emissions in new buildings and on the life cycle consideration of the quality seal &quot;Sustainable Buildings&quot; (QNG) developed by the BMWSB. The funding based on the QNG is a cross-sectoral measure, which causes reduction effects both in the area of the manufacture of construction products (thus assigned to the industrial sector) and in the operation of the buildings (building sector). As a third and final step, a new program entitled &quot;Climate-friendly construction&quot; is planned from January 2023. This program further develops the seal of quality for sustainable construction and will focus even more on greenhouse gas emissions in the life cycle of the building. A major challenge lies in the timely, effective and socially acceptable increase in the refurbishment dynamics of existing buildings. About three quarters of the old buildings were built before the first thermal insulation ordinance was introduced in 1979. To date, many of these buildings have only been slightly or hardly renovated in terms of energy efficiency. Compared to subsidized, efficient new buildings, energy-efficient refurbishments generate significantly higher GHG savings per subsidized euro. It is precisely the particularly badly renovated buildings that offer the greatest GHG and energy saving potential, which urgently needs to be leveraged.
Landfilling of combus-
tible waste
Wastewater handling
Biogas production
WEM
As landfilling of combustible waste was
only of secondary importance and is
prohibited completely since the year 2000
(section 3.8.2), greenhouse gas emissions
from solid waste disposal sites are small,
further decreasing, and only result from
waste deposited before the implementation
of the ban on landfilling of combustible
waste. The WEM scenario is thus based
on a continuation of the model for land-
filling of combustible waste until 2035
(IPCC, 2006; FOEN, 2019a). The share of
CH, fared reaches a value of 10 per cent
by 2030 (current value nine per cent), and
then declines to zero by 2050 as the
remaining emissions are getting to small to
be flared. Emissions from wastewater handling are
assumed to scale with the evolution of
population. It is assumed that increased demand for
biogas leads to the construction of addi-
tional biogas facilities (Prognos, 2012). Accordingly, the total number of biogas
facilities reaches 209 by 2020 and 461 by
2030, remaining constant thereafter. The
WOM
It is assumed that the ban on landfilling of
combustible waste was not implemented. Consequently, the amount of waste
disposed of at waste disposal sites under
the WOM scenario follows the same
evolution as under the WEM and WAM
scenarios until 1999, but then only de-
creases to 10 per cent of this value by
2020, remaining constant thereafter. It is
further assumed that the share of CH
recovered for power production (on total
CH produced) is the same under the
WOM scenario as under the WEM and
WAM scenarios (the share decreases
disproportionately as the cost-income ratio
is changing for the worse with decreasing
CH, production of the waste disposal site). Finally, it is assumed that the share of CH
flared remains constant at 3.5 per cent
from 1990 to 2030, and then declines to
zero by 2050. Same as for the WEM scenario. It is assumed that

Department for Business, Energy & Chair, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select The Government committed to publish a Biomass Strategy in 2022 , and a policy statement ahead of COP26 to provide an update on the strategy development. Biomass is a vital resource that has the potential to deliver the key technologies needed to reach net zero such as carbon capture, low carbon hydrogen production and production of b io- I am writing to inform you that today we will publish our Biomass policy statement. In the policy statement we set • priority use principles for biomass use to meet net zero in the short, medium and long term, to support the development of a priority use framework; • the key policy aims for sustainable biomass use across the economy, such as in the electricity, heat, transport and industry sectors; • for the first time, the Government’s view of the role bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) can play in contributing to net zero and the potential routes • a summary of research and innovation gaps which need to be addressed to enable biomass, bioenergy technologies, and the wider bioeconomy to deliver net zero, and ongoing and planned projects that will inform the Biomass Strategy. BEIS officials have engaged with officials in relevant departments to ensure wider departmental views have informed the development of this policy statement, in particular Defra and DfT who have ownership of various aspects of biomass policy. As t he Biomass Strategy will also touch on policies that are reserved (e.g. energy) and devolved (e.g. land use and other environmental policies) , BEIS officials have conducted meetings with each of the Devolved Administrations (DAs) to provide sight of the key content of the launch and have incorporated comments from each of the DAs. We will continue to work with the DAs and other departments as we develop the policies and proposals set out in this policy statement and the strategy.

BEIS has a programme of atmospheric monitoring of trace gases at Mace Head in the Republic of Ireland, which has been running since 1987. These data are monitored and interpreted on behalf of BEIS by the University of Bristol and the Met Office respectively. The atmospheric observations derive baseline concentrations and emission estimates for the UK, which are used to help verify the UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory, as well as feeding into other research programmes, such as NitroEurope and global networks, such as Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment AGAGE. The Mace Head site is well positioned to contrast air entering Europe from the Atlantic with emissions leaving Europe towards the Atlantic, thus enabling the Met Office to determine emissions estimates for the UK. In 2011, BEIS established an expanded programme of atmospheric observations to deliver increased spatial and temporal resolution in the emissions estimates. This was achieved through the establishment and adoption of three new observation sites Angus Scotland, Ridge Hill Herefordshire and Tacolneston Norfolk. Further information on BEISs atmospheric observations network, including project reports, is available on the Met Office Atmospheric Trends website.

Overview
An Emissions Monitoring Plan EMP is required to comply with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme UK ETS. You do not need to apply for an EMP if you are already regulated by the UK under the EU ETS. Read the guidance for complying with the UK ETS as an aircraft operator. You must apply to your regulator for an EMP within 6 weeks of becoming an aircraft operator. If you miss this deadline, you must contact your regulator as soon as possible. To apply for an EMP, you will need an account in the Emissions Trading System Workflow Automation Program ETSWAP. ETSWAP enables notifications to be sent to and received from your regulator, sends timely reminders of any actions that might need to be taken, and allows the submission of annual emissions reports, and if required, verification reports. Your regulator manages all EMP applications, variations, notifications, and submissions of reports through ETSWAP. All applications to your regulator must take place through ETSWAP unless you have agreed a separate arrangement with your regulator. Find out who your regulator is

Once your regulator has this information, they will be able to set you up with an account in ETSWAP and provide you with details on how to access it. Apply for an Emissions Monitoring Plan EMP
Once you access your ETSWAP account, there will be a task to submit an EMP application. On opening the task, an EMP form is presented for you to complete. You must read part 4 of the Order, and if applicable Appendix 2 of the CORSIA SARPs to make sure that you provide all the necessary information in your application, and that you apply the applicable monitoring methods in relation to the size of your annual emissions. The form within ETSWAP has been designed to help aircraft operators provide the information that is required under the Order and includes guidance on how to complete specific fields within the form. Where relevant, the form may also provide references to additional guidance documents or legislation for further information.
After you have applied
Your regulator will review your application and contact you if it has any questions or requires additional information. Once your regulator is satisfied that you are an aircraft operator and that your EMP application meets the requirements of the Order, they will issue you with an approved EMP, which you must comply with. If you require more detailed information or guidance on submitting an EMP application, please contact your regulator.
This Act provides a legal framework that will promote and encourage community empowerment and participation. It creates new rights for community bodies and places new duties on public authorities. The Act amends the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, extending the community right to buy to all of Scotland, urban and rural, and improving procedures. It also introduces a new provision for community bodies to purchase land which is abandoned, neglected or causing harm to the environmental wellbeing of the community, where the owner is not willing to sell that land.
The purchase must be in the public interest and compatible with the achievement of sustainable development of the land. The Act also allows for different types of community bodies to be involved in forestry leasing. “Land” for this purpose includes inland waters (within the meaning of section 69(1) of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 2003).
This strategy, presented to parliament by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, sets out the UK government's approach to decarbonisation in key industrial sectors: metals and minerals, chemicals, food and drink, paper and pulp, ceramics, glass, oil refineries and less energy intensive manufacturing. The strategy notes that the industrial sector is currently responsible for around one sixth of UK emissions. One of the stated goals of the strategy is to provide clear signals to industry and investors about the government's role for enabling the transition to a low carbon economy within the industrial sector. The strategy describes the policy framework that will be used to drive decarbonisation through the 2030s and 2040s via a combination of measures including: carbon pricing; product standards and labelling; research and development; direct investment

The mechanism for handling EEMS reports is based on well-defined international standards. Each EEMS report is defined as an XML document, and for each there is a corresponding XML schema definition. These schema definitions will completely define the concept of a valid document, i.e. the rules under which any report is accepted by EEMS. The schema definitions are held in the EEMS database and are available to all users.
Over time as the definitions change to reflect amended reporting requirements, the operator community will be able to download the new schema definition and adjust their software accordingly. User group
A new user group is being established to take forward further development and maintenance of the EEMS database. Minutes of the meetings and any relevant documents or presentations discussed at the meetings will be added to the website.
Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of April 23, 2009, regarding the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, sets as general objectives to achieve a minimum quota of 20% of energy from renewable sources in the gross final energy consumption of the European Union (EU) and a minimum share of 10% of energy from renewable sources in energy consumption in the transport sector in each Member State by the year 2020.

This Plan will list the priority measures and activities that need to be implemented in the next five-year period with the aim of implementing this long-term strategy. In 2011, the then Ministry of Environmental Protection, Spatial Planning and Construction prepared a document entitled Strategic guidelines for the development of the green economy&gt;&gt; which the Government of the Republic of Croatia accepted at the session held on September 29, 2011. The purpose of this document is to guide the long-term development of the state towards sustainable development, environmental protection, utilization of natural resources and efficient management in all segments of the economy, public and personal needs. In addition to these documents, it is important to note the adoption of the Strategy for Sustainable Development of the Republic of Croatia (&quot;Narodne novine&quot; No. 30/2009), whose goal is the long-term direction of economic and social development and environmental protection towards the sustainable development of the Republic of Croatia.
The aim of this measure is to reduce the amount of biodegradable fraction of waste disposed at landfills, thus reducing methane emissions resulting from anaerobic decomposition of waste. Pursuant to the Sustainable Waste Management Act, quantitative targets related to the reduction of biodegradable municipal waste disposed to landfills are established. By the end of 2020, the share of biodegradable municipal waste disposed of in landfills must be reduced to 35% weight of biodegradable municipal waste generated in 1997.
