Tout en reconnaissant qu’au vu des connaissances actuelles et des technologies disponibles l’électromobilité alimentée par les seules énergies renouvelables n’est pas forcément la solution pour tous les types de véhicules, le Luxembourg poursuit une feuille de route ambitieuse qui table sur une électrification de près de la moitié du parc automobile d’ici 2030. En effet, l’objectif retenu dans le PNEC correspond à une part de 49% de véhicules électriques (tout électrique et hybride rechargeable) du parc automobile en 2030156. La diffusion des véhicules électriques au Luxembourg dépend bien entendu de l’évolution plus ou moins rapide du marché automobile international, mais aussi de mesures nationales de promotion et de mise en place de l’infrastructure de recharge adéquate.

Under this set of regulations, the EU has set efforts to reduce its overall 1990 emission levels by 20% up to the year 2020, by 55%3 by 2030 and be climate neutral4 by the year 2050. More specifically, Malta also has its own targets in terms of the Effort Sharing Decision (Decision No 406/2009/EC of 23 April 2009; ESD), committing to control GHG emission growth to no more than 5% of 2005 levels by 2020, and the Effort Sharing Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2018/842 of the 30 May 2018; ESR). This Strategy will help in reaching the latter target and fulfilling our obligations in terms of the EU and Paris Agreement.

In order to fulfil this Malta is bound by EU legally binding targets. Malta also adopted its Climate Action Act (2015) and a Climate Emergency Resolution (2019) which provide nationally binding legal obligations for coherent and coordinated governance to deal with the climate crisis. The Paris Agreement is the first-ever universal, legally binding global CC agreement. It sets out a global framework to avoid dangerous CC by limiting global heating to well below 2°C and to actively pursue the ambition to limit the increase to below 1.5 degrees Celsius. It does this by planning for low carbon development, increasing resilience and ability to adapt, improving ability to live with the adverse impacts of CC, and by making financial flows consistent with resilient and low carbon development trajectories.

With this Low Carbon Development Strategy, Government wants to continue gaining ground and set a strategic direction for the next 30 years, with a set of measures where economic growth is decoupled from natural resource use and environmental pressures. The strategy, in combination with other national strategies and plans such as the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the Long Term Renovation Strategy (LTRS), and the Long Term Waste Management Plan, will ensure carbon emissions reductions across the main sectors of the Maltese economy, in line with the EU climate neutrality ambition set by the European Green Deal and in line with our Paris Agreement goals.

Conserving energy and reducing emissions from transport, buildings, industry, waste disposal, water generation, and the sector of agriculture and land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) represents a winning conflict resolution to climate change mitigation - decreasing the demand for energy generation and unsustainable resources and methods will pay end-consumers and beneficiaries, whilst also resulting in a reduction in carbon emissions.

This covered all areas of transport and set out an ambitious but deliverable pathway to reaching net zero and delivering against carbon budgets along the way. The pathway we have set out is not about stopping people from doing things. Rather, it’s about doing the same things differently.
