Dear Executive Secretary, It is our great pleasure to write to you early in the term of our new government to convey Australia's enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement. It is crucial to keep a 1.5C future within reach. Our new ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 will put Australia on track to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. We are moving to enshrine these targets in legislation. Our updated 2030 target is a 15 percentage point increase on Australia's previous 2030 target. Both targets are economy-wide emissions reduction commitments, covering all sectors and gases included in Australia's national inventory. Australia will also not carry over any overachievement on our 2020 target or our Kyoto Protocol targets to meet our Paris Agreement targets. Our aspiration is that the ingenuity and commitments of our industries, states and territories, and the Australian people will yield even greater emission reductions in the coming decade. Now is the time for policy implementation, and our government has a plan to deliver on our 2030 target and drive Australia's transition to net zero. With the right ambition, action and cooperation, we can seize the once-in-a-generation opportunity ahead of us and thrive in a net zero world. Yours sincerely Whose ANTHONY ALBANESE Prime Minister of Australia Auer CHRIS-BOWEN Minister for Climate Change and Energy Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Telephone (02) 6277 7120

Forests: In accordance with the 2015 NDC unconditional contribution, Suriname intends to increase efforts at sustainable forest and ecosystem management and stabilizing and minimizing deforestation and forest degradation unconditionally. Opportunities for emission reductions through Sustainable Forest Management practices of up to 40% exist. In accordance with the 2015 NDC unconditional contribution, Suriname has established 14% of its total land area under a national protection system and will continue to pursue the expansion of this system by increasing the percentage of forests and wetlands under protection to at least 17% of the terrestrial area by 2030, in line the UN CBD Aichi target. Electricity: Suriname's commitment to reduce emissions through the use of renewable energy was reflected in the 2015 conditional contribution to ensure the share of renewable energy stays above 25 % by 2025. This NDC extends and deepens the target with an unconditional contribution to maintain the share of electricity from renewable sources above 35% by 2030. Suriname will adopt a Renewable Energy Act to provide the legal, economic and institutional basis for the promotion of the use of renewable energy resources. The Act will focus on methods of electrification serving the interior, such as grid expansion (connecting off-grid systems to the national grid), solar PV systems, mini-grids, and micro- and small-scale hydropower development. The government is committed to implement fiscal sustainability measures to promote energy efficiency. The current tariff is a disincentive to private investment in more efficient technology. Against the backdrop of growing electricity demand these measures present a win-win, as they reduce the need for new generation capacity as well as free up government resources for investment.

This trajectory rests on the integration of five technological transformations: complementary There are many plausible pathways through 2050 to achieving a net-zero emissions economy. However, developments in these sectors over time are interdependent. For example, widespread adoption in leading energy efficiency practices in buildings could significantly impact overall electricity demand, reducing the amount of new clean energy installations Others have focused on overall long-term technological transformations and associated emission reduction strategies that would be necessary for reduction to net-zero in the U.S. by 2050. Many of these 2050 studies address emissions reduction across the entire economy and for all gases [14] [22] [23]; others focus on specific areas or sectors such as energy, electricity [13] [24], transportation [25], or manufacturing [26]. This research has advanced thinking about what is possible within the United States and what robust strategies to reach 2050 net-zero could look like. The assessment and analytical approaches presented here are original to this report but also recognize the many insights offered in this wider literature, including but not limited to studies specifically on 2050 net-zero pathways. Insights from this literature are consistent in what they tell us about the critical elements supporting the long-term emissions reduction trajectory for the United States.

The revised Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001) and the amended Energy Efficiency Directive (2018/2002) set separate EU level targets on renewable energy and energy efficiency in 2018. For renewable energy, a binding target of at least 32 % of final energy consumption by 2030 was set. Concerning energy efficiency, it is a headline target of at least 32.5 %. Both the renewable energy target and the energy efficiency target include a review clause by 2023 for an upward revision. Beyond these periods and targets, on 28 November 2018, the European Commission presented and adopted its strategic vision for 2050. Under the Long Term Strategic Vision on GHG Emissions Reduction, the European Commission showed long-term pathways and called for a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. It is expected that the long-term strategy is adopted and submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as required under the Paris Agreement. In Table 6, all GHG relevant targets for the EU and their key facts are displayed in an overview.

It was an important step in the EU's climate policy that on June 29, 2007, the European Commission accepted its first adaptation draft, which was put up for public discussion in the form of a Green Book in Brussels. The most important element of this is the principle of integration. According to this, the climate policy must be integrated into the development policy, i.e. it must be made one of the central elements of the cohesion policy. In other words, interventions related to climate change should not be planned and implemented independently, but in organic unity with community-sourced planning and development. (Excerpts from the material: "Global warming is a fact. Climate change is taking place, even accelerating. What we see today is only an early sign of climate change, a consequence of our greenhouse gas emissions so far. Europe must sound a wake-up call to protect itself from the consequences of the catastrophic unfolding of climate change during our century. ") At its spring meeting in 2007, the European Council discussed the energy policy and climate change "package" put forward by the European Commission and adopted conclusions that the Union will advocate in international negotiations the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in developed countries by 2020 must be reduced by 30 percent compared to the level of 1990. In addition, the Union has set as an independent goal that even in the absence of the implementation of the international framework, it undertakes to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by at least 20 percent compared to the level of 1990 by 2020. Furthermore, comprehensive in the event of the establishment of a global emission reduction framework, the Union is ready to reduce emissions by up to 30% by 2020. The implementation of this reduction and the improvement of the Union's energy security are served by the package of energy policy proposals adopted in March 2007, within the framework of which the goal was to By 2020, the European Uni cover 20 percent of its total energy consumption from renewable energy sources, achieve 20 percent energy savings compared to 1990, and increase the proportion of biofuels to 10 percent in the case of liquid fuels. The 10 percent commitment applies to all EU member states, but in the case of greenhouse gas emission reduction, the renewable share and energy efficiency, the commitment is a

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.

In 2016, the government committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, outlining a clear vision of decarbonisation of the national economy and contributing to the most ambitious objectives under the Paris Agreement. To support this commitment, the government decided to draw up a 2050 Carbon Neutrality Roadmap (RNC2050) with the aim of exploring the feasibility of trajectories that lead to carbon neutrality, identifying the main decarbonisation vectors and estimating the carbon reduction potential of various sectors of the national economy, such as energy and industry, mobility and transport, agriculture, forests and other land uses, and waste and waste water. This National Energy and Climate Plan is based on a strategic vision for the 2030 horizon of "Promoting the decarbonisation of the economy and the energy transition towards carbon neutrality in 2050 as an opportunity for the country, based on a democratic and fair model of territorial cohesion that enhances wealth generation and the efficient use of resources", being its decisive contribution to the definition of This report constitutes the 4th Biennial Report of Portugal, as required under Decision 2/CP.17 of the Conference of the Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Article 18(1) of the Regulation (EU) No 525/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council of 21 May 2013 on a mechanism for monitoring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and for reporting other information at national and Union level relevant to climate change and repealing Decision No 280/2004/EC.

A substantial hydrogen programme is to be initiated under this Climate Agreement. The programme will chiefly focus on unlocking the supply of green hydrogen, the development of the necessary infrastructure and collaboration with various sectoral programmes, as well as the facilitation of ongoing initiatives and projects. This programme will also allow the synergy between infrastructure and the use of hydrogen to be advanced. It is crucial that this programme focus on incremental scaling of the production of green hydrogen using sustainable electricity in the short term. This is due to the following: The necessary large-scale production of green hydrogen requires a rapid price reduction of electrolysers and the price of renewable electricity. In respect of electrolysers, a reduction of 65% on the capex of electrolysers must (and, according to the expectations of relevant market parties, can) be realised through upscaling in the lead-up to 2030, from approximately 100 million per 100 MW at present to 35 million per 100 MW, and to 3 - 4 GW of established electrolysis capacity as a result of scaling." In conjunction with the expectations regarding the costs of renewable electricity generation, green hydrogen may become competitive in time. A sufficient volume of renewable electricity is required in order to accommodate the demand for green hydrogen. In this regard, attention should be paid to ensure some link to the growth of electrolysis capacity and the growth of offshore wind energy. Consideration should also be given to the way in which the capacity, use and location of electrolysis plants could contribute to the integration of renewable electricity into the energy system. The impact on infrastructure should be included in the comprehensive infrastructure survey for 2030-2050 that GasUnie and TenneT will carry out in 2020. Given the Netherlands' excellent starting position regarding the production and use of hydrogen, the Netherlands will be able to take a leading position in this field if our country is able to take the lead in developments. This programme aims to have realised 3 - 4 GW of established capacity of electrolysers by 2030, with development being in alignment with the additional growth of the share of renewable electricity.

Land use policies By means of urban structure development measures, emission reductions amounting to 0.4 Mt CO a year can be achieved by 2030 compared to the basic scenario. The most significant solutions that concern cutting emissions are associated with sustainable urban development: urban structure and effective functioning of urban subregions, coordination of land use and transport, creating preconditions for renewable energy production and enabling a low-emission lifestyle. In urban subregions, the preconditions for this include good public transport services and a network of pedestrian and cycling routes, a living and well-functioning city centre and good accessibility of recreational and green areas. Effective urban subregions are a prerequisite for a thriving business life and Finland's competitiveness. There may be significant differences between the practical solutions used to reduce emissions in different parts of the country. In land use planning and construction and when making efforts to develop the steering of these sectors, preparation is made for utilising solar power. In land use planning, Finland will prepare to utilise extensively the country's wind power potential. In order to minimise the negative impacts of wind power plants, an effort will primarily be made to centralised wind power construction in large units at a sufficient distance from permanent housing.

The FSM recognizes the humanitarian imperative to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions at the global level by 2050 in order to preserve a reasonable chance at achieving the long-term temperature goal under Article 2 of the Paris Agreement. The FSM's ambitious contributions in the energy sector are well in line with this objective, particularly when considered in light of the country's development circumstances. With the provision of the necessary means of implementation from international sources, the FSM has the potential and the political will to take even greater action in the energy sector and other high emitting sectors with a view to achieving net zero emissions as soon as possible. The FSM also recognizes the substantial sustainable development co-benefits that would accompany such an ambitious undertaking.

Stakeholders recommend not to pre-empt, on a large scale, technical discussions around the taxonomy on significantly harmful activities by making a strict reference to all activities excluded from the Paris-aligned benchmark. They rather suggest limiting this list to companies with at least 1% of exploration, mining, extraction, distribution or refining of hard coal and lignite and those with at least 10% of exploration, extraction, distribution or refining of oil fuels. In addition, they stated that, as demonstrated by the European Commission's recent communication published with the delegated act on the Taxonomy on climate objectives, activities affected by such an exclusion that are related to natural gas will be subject to political discussions on their potential and conditional inclusion in the Taxonomy or an associated trajectory towards carbon neutrality. Also, activities relating to electricity generation with a threshold higher than the Taxonomy threshold of 100g CO2/kwh will be subject to discussions around a transition trajectory towards carbon neutrality by 2050. As regards the exposures towards companies excluded from EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks, stakeholders insist on the fact that, in order to achieve a zero-carbon economy, the challenge is to green the economy. This goal will be better achieved by implementing an inclusive approach aimed at fostering the development and

As king tides become more frequent and intense, salt water is increasingly seeping into fresh water lenses, creating urgent challenges for the islands. Raising support to assist with adaptation efforts remains a significant challenge. RMI has matched its international leadership in calling for greater ambition with equally ambitious domestic action. In 2015 RMI became the first Small Island Developing State (SIDS) to table its post-2020 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). This committed the country to a 32% reduction of GHG emissions by 2025, based on 2010 levels. It also made an indicative commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 45% by 2030, based on 2010 levels, thereby setting a projected straight-line intended NDC trajectory to achieve RMI's stated aspiration of net zero GHG emissions by 2050. The NDC was ground breaking in that it contained the first economy-wide absolute GHG emissions reduction target against a base year by a developing country. In 2016 RMI also committed, under the Marrakech Partnership, to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2050. RMI has reiterated its aspiration to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050, including most recently through signing the Declaration of the Carbon Neutrality Coalition at the One Planet Summit in December 2017. The purpose of this 2050 Climate Strategy which is RMI's long-term low greenhouse gas emission climate-resilient development strategy under the Paris Agreement - is to outline a long-term pathway for RMI to achieve its objectives for net zero emissions and 100% renewable energy, as well as to facilitate adaptation and climate resilience in a way that ensures the future protection and prosperity of the country and its women, men and youth.

But the costs of low carbon technology can fall quickly - working with industry, we expect a heat pump to be as cheap to buy and run as a gas boiler this decade. We want to reduce electricity costs so when the current gas spike subsides we will look at options to shift or rebalance energy levies (such as RO and FITs) and obligations (such ECO) away from electricity to gas over this decade. This will include looking at options to expand carbon pricing and remove costs from electricity bills while ensuring that we continue to limit any impact on bills overall. We know that in the long run, green products are more efficient and cheaper, and we are putting fairness and affordability at the heart of our approach.

Figure 39. Contribution of Mitigation Actions to GHG Emissions Reduction in the Land Transport Sector. As addressed above, long-term mitigation actions include mandating vehicle scrapping or maximum vehicle age in coordination with the increased adoption of EVs and alternative modes of transport for freight, potentially including rail or coastal shipping. The latter could provide alternatives to scrapping trucks. This will need to be defined prior to 2030 in order for Fiji to achieve zero emissions by 2050 due to the long commercial lifespan of trucks. Medium-term mitigation actions include adopting EVs and fostering public transport. These actions can be planned and trialled in the next few years; on-the-ground implementation is not expected in the short-term, but in the period after 2025. Fostering PT will require a detailed project plan about what is required and what systems are most appropriate. For EVs, it is recommended to develop an EV roadmap for Fiji that identifies which vehicle segments and areas to focus on and details the intervention strategies and financial means.

A comprehensive, well-resourced and inclusive social safety net protects against a wide range of risks faced by those living below the poverty line and those hovering close to it, particularly women and youth. A social safety net also allows greater economic mobility so that all Myanmar's people may be supported in realising their full potential as citizens and human beings. With few social safety net and protection services in place today, expanding and deepening these programmes throughout the individual's life-cycle will ensure that a package of standard protections is accessible to all citizens. With a priority focus on children and youth, pregnant women, workers and the elderly, these services will promote a holistic, transformative approach, enabling our people to pursue full, happy and productive lives, and allowing our elders to retire with dignity and in safety. The following Action Plans have been identified to achieve this strategy. Strategy 4.4: Increase secure access to food that is safe and well- balanced

Greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 15% between 1990 and 2017 (Kyoto scope, excluding LULUCF). At the same time, the population increased by 15% and the GDP by 52% over the same period. Today, among the developed countries, the territorial emissions per inhabitant of the French are among the lowest in the world. This testifies to the effort to decarbonise the economy already made in France, and which will be further amplified by 2030 and 2050. But it also testifies to the tertiarization of the French economy, which is correlated to a drop in its industrial activity. Moreover, most of the budgetary expenditure for the fight against climate change is oriented towards the long term. Indeed, they concern research and transport infrastructure in the modes that emit the least greenhouse gases. This is also the case for tax expenditures, most of which aim to support the renovation of housing. Finally, this is also the case for regulatory action, which obliges investments to make significant energy savings over their entire life cycle. In the longer term, research and development funding is likely to have the greatest impact. Thus, support for the emergence of green sectors and the development of renewable energies (support for onshore and offshore wind power, photovoltaics, renewable gas, biomass) is an essential lever for meeting the challenge of transition energy, which alone will allow a response commensurate with the challenge of climate change, in terms of controlling energy consumption and more generally of lifestyle and low-emission and economical production methods.

The Government will provide new funding of an initial 20m to support a new programme aimed at accelerating the market penetration of lower carbon vehicles and reducing the barriers faced by companies in moving from prototype demonstrations of lower carbon technologies to full commercialisation. This programme will provide financial support for public procurement of fleet scale demonstrations of lower carbon vehicles (and where appropriate supporting infrastructure). The programme will seek to build on the model of contractual forward commitments in which commitments to purchase vehicles are linked to the achievement of pre-determined cost and performance criteria. The Government will consult on the detailed operation of this new programme later in 2007 - with a view to supporting the first fleet procurements/demonstrations in 2008/9. To ensure that Government leads by example we have set a fleet average car procurement target of 130g/km CO by 2010/11 for new cars purchased by Government and used for administrative operations.

Production of fruits and other perennial crops: the country has tremendous potential to produce a vast array of fruits (e.g., mango, avocado, and citrus) and other perennial crops (e.g., coffee). These crops have considerable potential to reduce GHG emissions by enhancing soil carbon sequestration. Furthermore, the expansion of perennial crops will foster efforts toward improving food and nutrition security by reducing climate change risks. The government will continue to strongly support the production of fruits and other perennial crops through initiatives such as Green Legacy.

(4) China has made positive contributions to the global response to climate change China has always attached great importance to addressing climate change. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that dealing with climate change is not something others ask us to do, but we must do it ourselves. In 2007, China established the National Leading Group for Addressing Climate Change and Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, headed by the Premier of the State Council, and was the first developing country to issue the National Climate Change Program. In 2009, China announced to the international community the National Appropriate Mitigation Actions by 2020. Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP has been included as a binding indicator in the five-year plan for national economic and social development and broken down into implemented locally. In 2015, China announced its Nationally Determined Contributions; in September and December 2020, President Xi Jinping announced China's new Nationally Determined Contribution targets. In May 2021, China established a leading group for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality work, headed by the Vice Premier of the State Council, to further strengthen the overall planning and coordination of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality work. China has implemented a national strategy to actively address climate change, solidly promoted various policies and actions to address climate change, and adopted a series of measures such as adjusting industrial structure, optimizing energy structure, saving energy and improving energy efficiency, promoting the construction of carbon market, and increasing forest carbon sinks. Remarkable results. Preliminary calculations show that in 2019 China's carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP decreased by about 48.1% compared with 2005, and non-fossil energy accounted for 15.3% of total energy consumption, fulfilling the action target of controlling greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 ahead of schedule. China has actively participated in global climate governance and carried out international cooperation on climate change, kept its promises, and made important contributions to the global response to climate change.

We will publish our performance against the Emissions Intensity Ratio on an annual basis. We will also update key elements of the Strategy in line with our annual statutory responses to the Committee on Climate Change's reports on progress, ahead of setting the sixth carbon budget by 30 June 2021. We welcome views on this this Strategy. Comments and suggestions should be sent to [email protected] by the end of December 2017. Government intends that the individual departmental policies and proposals contained within the plan will be consulted on separately, where such consultation has not already taken place. Views received in response to both this Strategy and the detailed policy proposals which will follow it will be considered as we update key elements of our strategy before setting the sixth carbon budget by 30 June 2021. The Government will also launch an annual week focusing on climate issues across the UK, to showcase our progress and successes on climate action, share the latest climate science, and highlight and promote economic opportunities arising from clean growth around the country.

PAFN 1 (2011-2019) is designed to focus primarily on consolidating the institutional, legislative and regulatory framework that should promote the increase in forest cover to reach 20% by 2035. PAFN 1 will focus thus to create a climate of trust between all the actors involved in the reconstitution of the forest cover. To achieve its objective, PAFN 1 will rely on 22 projects/programs and 14 administrative, legal and regulatory measures. Priority projects and programs aim to reconstitute forest capital. It is :

Work-Freedom-Fatherland Currently, Togo's total productive forest cover is approximately 386,000 ha, representing a rate of 6.8% of the national area. Despite this low forest cover, the annual rate of deforestation is 4.5%, one of the highest deforestation rates in the world. The main causes of this degradation are agricultural expansion, logging, vegetation fires and the supply of fuelwood. Obviously all these human activities are amplified by galloping population growth. This regression of forest areas, with their multiple goods and services, marginalizes Togo in relation to national needs and the international average recommended by the FAO, which is 30% in terms of forest cover. This constitutes an obstacle to development and food security. The role of the forest in our society no longer needs to be demonstrated despite the weak potential available to our country. The forest contributes substantially to the national and family economy as well as to the fight against poverty in all its forms, both in rural and urban areas.

The UK was the first major economy in the world to pass laws to end its contribution to global warming with our 2050 net zero target. With the publication of this strategy, we become the first to show how we can have a thriving industrial sector aligned to net zero. We will work in partnership with industry, its workforce, customers and communities, sharing the costs and opportunities of this green industrial revolution. This strategy builds on the ambition and actions set out in the Industrial Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency Roadmaps to 2050 project: updating the pathways analysis and adapting actions to reflect our net zero target, considering fully the role of hydrogen and resource efficiency, and expanding to consider all of UK industry. This strategy reflects advice and feedback from trade associations, businesses, environmental groups, academics and the Climate Change Committee (CCC). Workshops explored themes such as incentives to adopt low carbon technologies, carbon leakage risks and the importance of a clear policy and funding landscape. The role of government, industry and the consumer in the net zero transition were discussed at a Confederation of British Industry roundtable with over 40 industry representatives, as well as the BEIS Industrial Energy and Energy Intensive Industry stakeholder forums. Finally, the pathways analysis in Annex 4 was tested with a group of academic experts.

WAM - corresponds to WM, however, with a much wider Strategy, approved by the GD no. 248 of 10.04.2013. With extent of implementation based on the Waste Management deviation from the Strategy, which provides for construction of a number of a bio-mechanical treatment plants, now at the stage of feasibility studies, construction of one biomechanical treatment plant is being considered for Chisinau municipal area only. It should be noted that at the stage the Waste Management Strategy development two options were considered: construction of two bio-mechanical treatment plants and two waste incinerators in Chisinau and Balti. Taking into account the results of the studies on morphological composition of municipal waste in the RM, preference was given to bio-mechanical treatment technology. The impact in the medium-term run (until 2025) of construction of one bio-mechanical treatment plant is reduction of direct GHG emissions from the waste sector by 20%. Similarly, to the WM scenario, open burning of waste will gradually decrease once regional waste management systems become operational, along with the promotion of efficient supervision of sanitation in settlements. Thus, the share of openly burnt waste will decrease by 2% annually, from 20% to 0% in 2025 in urban settlements, and after 2015 in rural settlements open burning of waste will be reduced by 2% annually, reaching the 10% share in 2030. Strict compliance with environmental legislation, together with appropriate financial coverage would allow to stop open burning of medical waste in a shorter time (2016-2025) than provided for under the WM by reducing the annual quantities of burnt staff by 10%, and by 20% during 2026-2030, which would reduce the openly burnt medical waste by 90% by 2030, relative to the year 2015. By the year 2025 the WAM provides for performing sewerage systems in place in Chisinau, Balti, Cahul and Tiraspol, which will ensure reducing the direct GHG emissions from the wastewater to the minimum level.

are significant reductions in energy intensity and GHG emissions, which show that the country is well on its way to achieving and exceeding the EU 20-20-20 goals. These goals are achievable on the condition that Montenegro does not make counterproductive development decisions in the coming period, that is, if it implements policies that would replace the spontaneous improvements noted in the past decade and ensure the continuation of positive trends. However, there are also worrying signals, especially when it comes to development plans. Projections of trends in energy efficiency, given in the Energy Development Strategy (eg reduction of energy intensity by about 40% by 2030, compared to 2010 - from 29,770 MJ to 17,692 MJ, per thousand euros of GDP expressed in euros from 2000 ), will not be sufficient to bridge the still large gap between the Montenegrin and European economies and ensure the monitoring of ambitious and advanced EU policies. If insufficiently ambitious national goals in the field of energy efficiency prevail, this will have a negative impact on the sustainability of the energy sector, but also contribute to missing other opportunities (such as reducing energy costs and increasing competitiveness). The plans of the national energy strategy and the activities that are currently being carried out in order to start the construction of the new block of the Thermal Power Plant in Pljevlje, as well as on the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, are a special cause for concern. Namely, these plans and activities must be seen in the context of policies that

The six priority low carbon actions identified and described in detail in Chapter 6 (restoration of degraded forests, reforestation, agroforestry, geothermal, improved and liquid propane gas (LPG) cook stoves, bus rapid transit with light rail corridors) represent about three- quarters of the mitigation potential identified in the low carbon assessment. The full deployment of these actions would almost halve GHG emissions by 2030 compared to the baseline scenario. Investment costs would vary, but significant GHG emissions reductions can be obtained at marginal costs of less than USD15 per tonne of carbon.

Price elasticity measures the intensity with which demand responds to a change in price. Similarly, income elasticity measures the response of consumers to increases in their disposable income. The price data used correspond to the quarterly weighted average of the Import Parity Price (PPI). The PPI is a value that adequately reflects the evolution of the price variations of fuels to the final consumer. These data are calculated and published every 14 days by the National Secretary of Energy through the formula adopted in Decree No. 36 of September 17, 2003. The data used as a disposable income variable is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Panama, which is published by the Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC) of Panama.
