Meanwhile, in September 2015, the Republic of Azerbaijan joined the "Sustainable Development Agenda for 2016-2030", which was approved at the UN Summit on Sustainable Development in New York and launched the enforcement process for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (17 SDGs, 169 targets and 232 indicators). Seven of the SDGs, namely the SDG 6, SDG 7, SDG 11, SDG 12, SDG 13, SDG 14, SDG 15 directly deal with mitigation of environmental and climate change and other issues, and SDG 8 and SDG 9 touched upon the topic indirectly. For example, the Sustainable Development Goal 13 calls for taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. It is noted in the relevant targets that the development and implementation of new innovative technologies to explore the potential of the green economy and expand its application in all countries is of great importance. The SDG 7 is about ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Target 7.2 envisages substantial increase in the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030. Meanwhile, Goal 7.3 calls for doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030. Target 7.a. envisages enhancing international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology by 2030.

INDONESIA LONG-TERM STRATEGY 17 FOR LOW CARBON AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE 2050 INDONESIA LTS-LCCR 2050) In most scenarios, without mitigation effort even with adaptation, atmospheric concentration by 2100 is more than 1,000 ppm CO₂e. Emission scenarios of CO₂e concentrations in 2100 of about s 450 ppm are likely to maintain warming below 2°C. These scenarios projected that in 2050 the GHG emission reduction will reach 40% to 70% compared to 2010 (49 + 4.5 Gton CO₂e per year) and 2100 emissions level will reach near zero or below. In model pathways with no or limited overshoot of 1.5°C, global net anthropogenic CO₂ emissions decline by about 45% from 2010 levels by 2030 (40-60% interquartile range), reaching net-zero around 2050 (2045-2055 interquartile range). For limiting global warming to below 2°C, CO₂ emissions are projected to decline by about 20% by 2030 in most pathways (10-30% interquartile range) and reach net-zero around 2075 (2065-2080 interquartile range). Non-CO₂ emissions in pathways that limit global warming to 1.5°C show deep reductions that are similar to those in pathways limiting warming to 2°C (IPCC SR1.5). By 2050, the Earth's population is estimated over 9 billion with growing demand for energy and natural resources. Environmental degradation and erosion of natural resources are expected to continue to 2050, with the irreversible changes that will endanger life and livelihood. Without ambitious policy, the world will face more disruptive climate change as a result of the increase of GHGs emission by 50% to 70% due to growth of energy-related CO₂ emission. These increased emissions will cause temperature increase above 2°C threshold, affect precipitation patterns, increase glacier and permafrost melt, increase sea-level, and worsen the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events. It is projected that in 2050 biodiversity loss will continue, mature forests will shrink in area by 13% followed by commercial forestry, while mean species abundance will decrease

Currently, 21,000 onshore wind turbines provide electricity to 10 million households in Germany and avoid emissions of 30.2 million tons into the atmosphere. It is assumed that by 2030, 25 GW of electricity will be produced in the trail parks in the North and Baltic Seas, which is equivalent to the annual capacity of 20 nuclear power plants. to increase the capacity of wind power plants in coastal waters, the procedure for registering investment projects is simplified. Over the next few years, investors will also be exempted from fees for the transit of clean energy through power lines. the federal government is supporting the construction of 10 offshore wind parks. For these purposes, in 2011, the state bank opened a preferential credit line in the amount of 5 billion euros. Great importance in the concept is given to the development of bio- and solar energy. According to some estimates, only the Desertec Industrial initiative project, involving the construction of giant solar power plants in Africa and the Middle East, is capable of providing 15% of the need for electrons by 2050.

About one-sixth of Kuwait oil and gas production is consumed in the domestic market. According to estimates by KNPC, which produces and markets the refined products, half of the domestic consumption goes to power plants and seawater desalination units, while the rest is consumed mainly by the oil industry itself, followed by the transport sector. Only a small proportion is consumed by households. Figure 1-23 (right) shows the Kuwait's daily consumption of crude oil and oil products in thousands of equivalent barrels of crude in the period 1994-2016. The decline in oil consumption since 2009 was due, among other factors, to the shift toward the use of more natural gas in power stations and petrochemical industries. Finally, due to low natural gas production relative to consumption requirements, Kuwait has been a net importer of natural gas since 2009. In 2016, Kuwait's total imports of natural gas reached about 152.3 billion cubic feet, nearly 417 million cubic feet per day. (KNPC data). Gro Ku mil whi exc feet Fig 201 pla spe boc cap per bill alle yea cur pro Regarding natural gas, Kuwait had an estimated 1.8 trillion cubic meters of proven natural gas reserves as of 2015. Kuwait's reserves are not considered significant relative to global reserves and this has spurred an extensive drive in natural gas exploration. The utilization of the discovery of large non-associated gas reserves, which was discovered in the northern area of the country had been delayed by parliamentary opposition since 2006. However, in September 2016, Kuwait awarded contracts to international companies to enable the start-up of production of gas from these reserves by 2018. Yet, the $3.6 billion second phase plan of the project is on hold after tenders were unexpectedly cancelled in late 2017.

The approach to electricity will include (1) increasing the amount of electricity generated from renewable and low-emitting sources; (2) connecting clean power with places that need it; (3) modernizing electricity systems; and (4) reducing reliance on diesel working with Indigenous Peoples and northern and remote communities. Provinces and territories have already taken action on moving from traditional coal-fired generation to clean electricity. Ontario and Manitoba have already phased out their use of coal, Alberta has plans in place to phase out coal-fired electricity by 2030, Nova Scotia has created a regulatory framework to transition from coal to clean electricity generation, and Saskatchewan has a coal-fired generating unit with carbon capture technology, which captures 90 percent of emissions. New capacity will come from non-emitting sources including hydro, wind, and solar as well as natural gas. Energy efficiency and conservation will make added contributions to clean electricity systems. Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change

Energy for space heating in the built environment The most important pillars of the policy aimed at CO₂ neutral low-temperature heating in 2050 for the Netherlands, as described in the Energy Agenda, are a far-reaching reduction of heat demand through energy conservation and a significant reduction in the use of natural gas by stimulating and incorporating sustainably generated electricity. and sustainable heat. The cabinet is preparing legally binding measures, such as a minimum energy label for housing association homes and offices. It is being explored whether this can also be applied to other real estate sectors. In addition, the government will continue and broaden the promotion of savings through information, subsidies (such as the Own Home Energy Savings Incentive Scheme), low-interest loans (such as the National Energy Savings Fund), and support for innovative approaches. In the coming years, the legal and administrative preconditions will be created to greatly reduce natural gas in the built environment, partly because large-scale heat networks are regulated in a similar way to electricity and gas networks and because municipalities become (partly) responsible for the strategic elaboration. 4 Strategy and realization

Lebanon has embarked on the path of sustainable energy since the commitment launched in Copenhagen in 2009 by the Lebanese Government to develop renewable energy (RE). That famous commitment, well defined in the 2010 Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) Policy Paper for the Electricity Sector, has become a source of challenge and pride for our country, a real challenge to all concerned parties to reach this target by 2020 and a real pride because this commitment has boosted sustainable energy development in Lebanon to a high priority level. In terms of set numbers, our main target is to implement RE projects that would actually produce approximately 767 kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) in 2020, equivalent to 12% of the projected total electricity and heating demand in Lebanon during that year. MEW is aware that this target is challenging, but we are also confident that aligning the efforts of all national players and international allies would lead to achieving this target. MEW will exert all possible efforts to set the right policies and the needed mechanisms to make our 767 ktoe target a reality. We count on all our partners to support us in this promising journey, and we look forward to celebrating the implementation of NREAP 2016-2020 by 2020 as a success for Lebanon, all of Lebanon.

In the energy sector, the Energy Strategy 2050 sets a number of priorities to assure the future energy supply, such as reduction in energy consumption, broadening of the portfolio of energy sources, expansion and restructuring of the electricity transmission grid as well as energy storage. Emphasis is placed on increased energy savings (energy efficiency), the expansion of hydropower and implementation of new renewable energies. With regard to concrete policies and measures in the energy sector, the SwissEnergy programme represents a major policy instrument engaging cantons, municipalities, industry, as well as environmental and consumer associations for awareness raising and the promotion of increased energy efficiency and the enhanced use of renewable energy. The national buildings refurbishment programme increases the energy efficiency of buildings and promotes the use of renewable energies in the buildings sector, financed by one third of the revenues from the CO levy on heating and process fuels. The building codes of the cantons, which were agreed on by the cantonal energy directors, provide a set of common energy and insulation standards (model ordinances) aimed at reducing energy consumption of buildings. Negotiated commitments on energy efficiency entitle energy-intensive companies to receive a full or partial refund of electricity network surcharges (raised for the promotion of renewable energies) if they commit to enhancing energy efficiency in a target agreement with the Swiss government. The obligation to offset emissions from gas-fired combined-cycle power plants ensures that planning permissions for such power plants are only given if operators commit to offset the CO emissions in full. In the framework of the negotiated reduction commitment of municipal solid waste incineration plant operators, the Swiss Association of municipal solid waste incineration plants committed to reduce net CO emissions (e.g. through the effective use of the heat generated or the recuperation of metals) and to establish a monitoring system to track progress towards the goals set in the agreement with the Swiss government.

1. The entry of new light vehicles Panama presents an annual growth rate of 5.5%, based on historical data from ADAP, ATTT and INEC (1995 to 2016 with adjustment for non-representative years). 2 The parity price of electric vehicles and vehicles with internal combustion engines can be reached in 2021 if governments put in place promotion and incentive strategies for electric mobility, according to a recent study by Deloitte[xvii]. The year 2024 would be the parity scenario based on the development of technology without government assistance. Under this premise and taking into account the initiative of the Panamanian government, the year 2022 is taken as a possible year of parity in our country. Cars older than 10 years will be removed from circulation, giving a total of between 10,000 and 20,000 cars that would come off the registry annually. 4. According to the Global EV Outlook 2018[x], the average worldwide supply of many vehicle manufacturers is going to be 25% electric vehicles by the year 2025. And about 250 new electric vehicle models have already been announced between 2018 and 2030. 5. According to the Global EV Outlook 2018[xix], it is estimated that an electric vehicle is between 30% and 50% more efficient from well to wheel than an internal combustion vehicle, depending on the generation matrix of the country evaluated. Therefore, an intermediate value of 40% will be taken for Panama 6. Panama has assumed NDC update goals for the year 2030, for which this year has been established as the target year for the estimated contribution by this strategy of electric mobility. In this way, electric mobility can be included as a mitigation action in said update of NDC's and be presented as a NAMA of Panama. 7. The baseline study of Carbon Dioxide (CO) emissions of new vehicle registrations in Panama during the period 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016, shows that the average emissions of grams of CO per annual kilometer they range between 184.61 g CO/km in 2008 - 201.50 g CO2/km for 2016 [xx]. 8.

Research done so far mostly relates to the impact of climate change on electricity production from renewable sources by exploring the impact of meteorological parameters on production potential and analysing possible scenarios for future periods. For example, in 2013, two studies were carried out, one related to wind power plants (the impact of climate change on wind power generation, in particular the impact of wind speed change on production), the other to hydroelectric power plants (research that most meteorological parameters have on electricity generation from the meteorological parameters to assess the need for electricity generation from hydro power plants with the aim of planning the production and management of the system, as well as determining the potential output) [51] [52]. The paper exploring the possible impact of climate change on the energy generation from renewable energy sources in the Republic of Croatia, such as photovoltaic and wind power plants, as well as hydropower, was carried out in 2012 [53]. The climatic data used in the research are retrieved from the global climate model ECHAMS-MPIOM, and the data are dynamically adjusted to the RegCM regional climate model in DHMZ. The results based on the IPCC A2 scenario for the two future periods, 2011-2040 and 20412070, were analysed. It was concluded that climate change could have the greatest impact on renewable energy sources in the coastal part of the country, and an increase in production is expected due to the increase in wind speed, but also reduction of production from hydro power plants. Significant changes in photovoltaic power generation are not expected.

Solar and other technologies With the sun providing enough daily energy to power the world 10,000 times over, solar power is a globally abundant resource. There is currently 14GW of solar capacity in the UK split between large scale projects to smaller scale rooftop solar. The cost of solar has fallen by around 85 per cent over the past decade, and can be installed in just one day on a domestic roof. We expect a five-fold increase in deployment by 2035. For ground-mounted solar, we will consult on amending planning rules to strengthen policy in favour of development on non-protected land, while ensuring communities continue to have a say and environmental protections remain in place.

When comparing GHG emissions with the electricity generation curves (GWh) by type of source (Figure 41), it can be seen that the maximum emissions occur when the generation by hydraulic source decreases and the consumption of diesel and especially coal increases., as observed in 1999, 2008-2013 and 2015-2017. The opposite situation occurs in the periods 1990-1992, 2005-2006 and in 2014, where the increase in the water source and a decrease in the growth trend of the emissions of the subcategory are seen. It is worth noting the influence of the use of natural gas on GHG emissions in the period 1999-2006, where it is observed how GHG emissions decrease due to the increase in the consumption of natural gas as a result of the entry of a large supply of this fuel from Argentina, which displaces the consumption of coal and diesel. Likewise, since 2007 it has been observed how the cut off of natural gas supply by Argentina, accompanied by a lower water supply due to droughts, produces an increase in the consumption of diesel and coal; Initially, the main substitute was diesel because natural gas plants are mostly comparable with diesel. Subsequently, coal entered with greater force given its lower cost, which in turn increases GHG emissions, resuming the upward trend observed between 1990 and 1998. The decrease presented between the years 2008-2010 is mainly due to the economic crisis of the year 2008 together with the earthquake of the year 2010. While the drop in emissions presented in the year 2014 is related to the fact that 2013 was a very rainy year, which allowed the storage of large amounts of water, either by reservoir or in the glaciers of the mountains in the south of the country, thus increasing the supply of this generation for 2014. For the coming years, it is seen how emissions increase until 2016 due to the greater use of coal, to then decline in 2018. This is mainly due to the increase in the participation of NCRE sources (solar, wind, mini-hydro and geothermal) together with the return of natural gas for electricity generation. In addition, it is possible to appreciate how diesel is increasingly decreasing its share, motivated by the entry of renewable sources and its high price compared to other fossil alternatives

The European Climate Law legally defines the commitment in the European Green Deal for Europe's economy and society to be climate neutral by 2050. The law also sets an interim target to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Climate neutrality means achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for EU countries as a whole, mainly by reducing emissions, investing in green technologies and protecting the natural environment. The Law aims to ensure that all EU policies contribute to this goal and that all sectors of the economy and society play their part. The Climate Law includes measures to monitor progress and adapt our actions according to existing systems, such as the process for managing Member States' national energy and climate plans, regular reports from the European Environment Agency, and the latest scientific evidence on climate change and its impacts. Slovakia is part of these actions and was among the first countries in the EU (end of 2019) to agree to climate neutrality by 2050.

United Nations on Climate Change-UNFCCC- its proposal for an Intended and Determined Contribution at the National level -INDC-, in which it is planned to achieve an unconditional reduction of 11.2 percent of its total GHG emissions, taking as a reference the base year 2005 and projected to the year 2030. This goal implies reducing from 53.85 million tons of CO-eq estimated for the year 2030 (Considered in the Business as Usual -BAU- scenario) to a value of 47.81 million tons of CO-eq in that year. The second proposal is more aggressive, but it is conditional on obtaining the necessary new and additional technical and financial support from new and additional public and private international resources that allow actions to be taken to achieve it. This conditioned initiative proposes a reduction of 22.6 percent projected for 2030, which implies reducing from 53.85 million tons of CO-eq estimated for the year 2030 (considered in the BAU scenario), to a value of 41.66 million tons of CO-eq in that year (MARN, 2015).

Through collective delivery with the EU In the case of an individual commitment Norwegian emissions are covered by the EU ETS, and Norway will through our participation in the ETS contribute to the necessary emission reductions. The EU ETS ensures that no double counting occurs. In meeting the emission reduction target in the non-ETS sectors, Norway assumes access to flexibility in implementation in line with what EU member states have. This includes flexibility among EU member states. Regarding the non-ETS sectors, Norway's assumption is that an agreement between Norway and the EU on collective delivery will ensure that no double counting occurs. In this situation, there will be no use of international market credits towards the target. Norway does, however, support inclusion of market based mechanisms in the 2015 agreement, and the opportunity to continue using units accruing from the CDM and JI. If the commitment should be implemented by Norway individually, the ambition level of at least 40% emission reduction by 2030 compared to 1990 still stands. In this situation, Norway assumes that we will have access to flexible mechanisms as in the case with collective delivery with the EU. Norway will continue to use market based mechanisms under the UNFCCC. Strict criteria will be applied to ensure that such credits represent real and verifiable emission reductions and that double counting is avoided. Norway will seek an agreement of accounting for Norway's participation in the EU ETS.

If the targets set are fulfilled, significant improvement of the main energy indicators will be achieved. The comparison is made on the basis of the situation in 2005, the forecast for 2020 assuming preservation of the present-day policy (Reference Scenario) and the forecast for 2020 assuming implementation of the strategic goals (Target scenario): The key goal to be pursued is energy efficiency improvement. The main indicator of this is energy intensiveness of the GDP. If the targets for two-fold reduction of energy intensiveness by 2020 are achieved, this national indicator is expected to come closer to the average for the Community, which will be reflected in many- sided benefits. Achievement of the target indicator of energy intensiveness, 456 toe/MEURO5, will enable the sustainable economic growth, realized with lower energy demand. Till 2020 the total energy demand decreases by 21%, while GDP increases by 58.5% compared to 2005. Performance of the planned measures and policies with respect to energy efficiency will produce the following positive effects in comparison with the Reference Scenario around 2020: 17.5% lower, or 1.94 mio. toe final consumption of energy; saving of 26.8%, or 5.8 mio. toe primary energy per year as a result of energy efficient final consumption, energy efficiency in the energy sector and larger share of the directly used natural gas and RES. As a result of efficiency improvement in the energy sector and of adoption of the direct use of natural gas and RES in the households, the relation between final and total energy demand reaches 58%. This means that the same energy requirements of the end users in 2020 will require 17% less primary energy resources compared to 2005, respectively 12% less compared to the Reference scenario.

Our climate action strategy is designed to provide substantial guidance for the process needed to achieve the climate targets. It is a strategy that aims to modernise our economy, and one of its main features is that it neither focuses on nor rules out any particular technology. It is a strategy that is designed to promote and develop new technologies, in the field of renewable energy, for example, and to increase energy efficiency. This is a way of conserving resources and using them more efficiently and at the same time improving the performance and competitiveness of our economy and its businesses. To make sure this transition towards a largely greenhouse gas-neutral society in the next decades becomes a success story, not only for climate policy but also for economic policy, we need to take a broader view. National, European and international climate targets are at the centre of the climate action strategy. This strategy must also take economic and social concerns into account: economic concerns because ultimately only economic success will make climate action an attractive proposition worldwide, and social concerns because one of the principles of climate action on a national as well as international level is that "strong shoulders must carry more than weaker ones." Climate action will only enjoy the broad social acceptance it needs in Germany if economic success and social balance are achieved. This will make the modernisation of our economy a beacon of success. Here again, guidance can be found in Agenda 2030: its 17 goals reflect all three dimensions of sustainability equally. Climate action is thus tantamount to increased economic performance and competitiveness. Decarbonisation means restructuring industry; it does not mean deindustrialisation. On the contrary: only if highly industrialised countries such as Germany provide living proof that meeting national climate targets does not have a negative impact on a country's economic and industrial success will other countries follow our lead.

As the Faroe Islands and Greenland are not included in the EU territory, the commitments of Denmark as a member of the EU do not apply to the Faroe Island and Greenland. Legally binding target trajectories for the period 2013-2020 are enshrined in both the EU-ETS Directive (Directive 2003/87/EC and respective amendments) and the Effort Sharing Decision (Decision No 400/2009/EC). These legally binding trajectories not only result in a 20% GHO reduction in 2020 compared to 1990 but also define the EU's annual target pathway to reduce EU GHG emissions from 2013 to 2020. The Effort Sharing Decision sets annual national emission targets for all Member States for the period 2013-2020 for those sectors not covered by the EU emissions trading system (ETS), expressed as percentage changes from 2005 levels. In March 2013 and August 2017, the Commission formally adopted, respectively revised for 2017- 2020, the national annual limits throughout the period for each Member State. By 2020, the national targets will collectively deliver a reduction of around 10% in total EU emissions from the sectors covered compared with 2005 levels. The emission reduction to be achieved from the sectors covered by the EU ETS will be 21% below 2005 emission levels.

At COP26 during the World Leaders Summit Forest Day session on November 2, 2021, the United States announced the Plan to Conserve Global Forests: Critical Carbon Sinks. This decade-long, whole-of-government Plan sets forth the U.S. approach to conserving critical global terrestrial carbon sinks, deploying a range of diplomatic, policy, and financing tools. The first-of-its-kind plan for the U.S. government seeks to catalyze the global effort to conserve and restore the forests and other ecosystems that serve as critical carbon sinks. Subject to Congressional appropriations, by 2030, the United States intends to dedicate up to $9 billion of our international climate funding to support the objectives of the Plan. The United States recognizes that without halting deforestation and restoring forests at scale, we cannot reach net zero emissions by 2050, and we cannot limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This is not a long-term challenge. It is something we must do immediately, in this critical decade. Forests and other ecosystems could provide as much as one-third of global mitigation by 2030 by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and by enhancing the carbon sequestered from the atmosphere through forest restoration. The Plan to Conserve Global Forests: Critical Carbon Sinks has been devised to catalyze even more ambitious global action towards this end.

For instance, projections of final demand for end-use sectors are consistent with those used in the central 2037 delivery pathway and are the same for each of the modelled 2050 scenarios. Technology and resource cost assumptions, including fossil fuel prices, are also the same across each scenario. Sensitivity analysis conducted as part of the sixth carbon budget Impact Assessment showed that the impact of economic growth and fossil fuel prices on the technology mix in 2050 is relatively small, therefore these effects were not considered further.30 Finally, sector emissions to 2037 were aligned to those in the delivery pathway described in the Strategy.

has led to the formulation of this Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan (OREDP) and its accompanying Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Appropriate Assessment (AA). In the last decade there has been significant growth in Ireland's renewable electricity generation output, driven largely by onshore wind. 19.6% of Ireland's electricity demand was met by renewable sources in 2012, with 15.3% being met by onshore wind. This rate of progress towards our target of meeting 40% of electricity demand from renewable sources by 2020, places Ireland at the forefront of renewables development. However, there is no room for complacency. Energy policy is defined by the need to be forward looking and to ensure that our electricity system is fit for purpose in the decades to come - both to meet our national energy needs, and for Ireland to have the capacity to fully participate in the wider European energy market. As we look towards 2030, and even out to 2050, the goal of decarbonising our electricity system will require the expansion of our renewable generation portfolio to include additional forms of renewable generation, such as offshore wind, and technologies still at the research, development and demonstration stage, such as wave and tidal devices and floating offshore wind systems. In tandem with this process, the Government has consistently identified the economic potential of our offshore energy resources as a priority area in the development of Ireland's green economy. The Action Plan for Jobs (2012) includes marine renewable energy among the green economy sectors in which critical mass must be built in order to realise its jobs potential, and prioritises finalising the OREDP and related SEA and AA to provide a clear framework for marine renewable energy development. The Report of the Research Prioritisation Steering Group (2012) identifies the opportunity to position Ireland as a research, development and innovation hub for the deployment of marine renewable energy technologies and services, thus facilitating the creation of an early stage industry and opening up the possibility of Ireland becoming a significant exporter of electricity. Ireland's Integrated Marine Plan, Harnessing Our Ocean Wealth (2012), recognises the potential of Ireland's offshore energy resource and specifies time-bound enabling and development targets, including implementation of the OREDP.

It is also true that new desert enclaves are formed in internal bush land including agricultural and range lands when subjected to land degradation factors such as tree removal, land misuse associated with bad agricultural practices, overgrazing, and bush and grass fires. Under such ill-advised practices desert conditions are created in situ thus widening the extent of desertified areas. In its advanced stages desertification decrease crop and animal production.

We are planning to publish a Bioenergy Strategy in 2022. This will review the amount of sustainable biomass available to the UK and how this could be best used across the economy to help achieve our net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050 while also support the delivery of our wider environmental targets. The strategy will also establish the role which Bioenergy with Carbon Capture & Storage (BECCS) can play in reducing carbon emissions across the economy. Current evidence strongly suggests that, given limited sustainable biomass supply, we may need to prioritise the use of biomass where it can be combined with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), resulting in negative emissions.

The new power generation facility installed recently is to consume around 170 grams of heavy fuel oil per KWh of electricity generated as compared to the average previous power supply consumption of 220 grams of diesel or light fuel oil. If we estimate the generation for 2012 to be around 300 GWh, the new generation facility will reduce CO emissions by around 45,000 tones in that year. Rehabilitation of the old transmission and distribution systems in major towns has reduced power losses. The previous technical losses of 20% in transmission and distribution system have been reduced by 50%. Assuming that oil fired stations produce about 0.7 ton of CO/MWh generated, this reduction in technical loses implies CO abatement of 21,000 tons/year. The improved stoves which have been recently introduced have around 21% efficiencies as demonstrated experimentally, while the traditional stoves are less than 10% efficient. Simple calculations made suggest that the CO reduction potential per improved stove is 0.6 tons per year. A wind park to feed the Port City of Assab grid and many decentralized stand alone or wind hybrid systems in the small towns and villages in the area have been installed. Many solar PV systems have been installed in the rural areas. Around 1.6 ton of CO is abated for each kW of renewable energy technologies (RETs) installed. In connection with these improvements in energy efficiency and introduction of sustainable energy supplies there is an Energy Research and Training Center which has the purpose of undertaking research activities on renewable energy resources and technologies. Moreover, the Centre is also involved in the installations, repair and maintenance of RETS, training of technicians and extension activities. These measures have already positive impacts in abating GHG emissions which is the foundation of the objective of the Convention.

By definition, wind energy is energy produced by the wind. It is the result of the action of aerogenerators, electrical machines moved by the wind and whose function is to produce electricity. s g A propeller driven in rotation by the force e of the wind allows the production of mechanical or electrical energy in any sufficiently windy place. The wind energy captured on the blades drives the rotor which, coupled to a generator, converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The amount of energy produced by a wind turbine depends mainly on the speed of the wind but also on the surface swept by the blades and the density of the air. The Algerian EnR program initially plans, over the period 2011-2013, the installation of the first wind farm with a power of 10 MW in Adrar. Between p 2014 and 2015, two wind farms of 20 MW each should be built.

The share of CO₂ emissions in total greenhouse gas emissions has varied from 80 per cent to 85 per cent. In absolute terms, CO₂ emissions have decreased by 12.7 million tonnes (i.e. 22 per cent) since 1990. Around 90 per cent of all CO₂ emissions originated from the energy sector in 2015. The amount of energy-related CO₂ emissions has fluctuated much according to the economic trend, the energy supply structure (including electricity imports and exports) and climate conditions. Methane emissions (CH) have decreased by 37 per cent from the 1990 level. This is mainly due to the improvements in waste sector and a contraction in animal husbandry in the agricultural sector. Correspondingly, emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O) have also decreased by 27 per cent; the greatest decline occurred in 2009 when the implementation of a N₂O abatement technology in nitric acid production reduced emissions significantly. Another reason for the decrease of N₂O emissions is the reduced nitrogen fertilisation of agricultural fields. In 2015, the F-gas emissions (HFCs, PFCs and SF) were nearly 35 times higher than the emissions for 1995 (the

Consistent with the strategic guideline on Regional Development, Natural Resources and the Environment, physical vulnerability will have been reduced by 50%, the annual loss of forest cover by 70%, and the net use of water resources and the damming capacity for productive purposes will be increased from 5 to 16%. By the year 2038, Honduras will have mainstreamed the issue of change

Switzerland has stabilized its emissions until 2010 compared to 1990, until 2020 the greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 19% within the country. In line with IPCC findings, Switzerland commits to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 per cent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, corresponding to an average reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 35 per cent over the period 2021-2030. By 2025, a reduction of greenhouse gases by at least 35 per cent compared to 1990 levels is anticipated. International carbon credits will partly be used.

What are our objectives? Climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation are transforming the global economy. As countries, companies and individuals across the world respond to these challenges, finance and investment have a crucial role to play. The global transition to a net zero, resilient and nature positive economy will see trillions of pounds reallocated and invested in new projects, products and services. The UK's world-renowned finance sector can put us at the forefront of this transition. 2. The UK's COP26 Presidency in 2021 generated historic momentum in the numbers of businesses, regions and investors seeking to align with climate and environmental goals. Over 90% of global GDP is now covered by national net zero targets. In the financial services sector this was exemplified through the commitment of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), which unites over 550 members across the financial sector committed to align with a net zero future, spanning 50 countries and representing 40% of global private financial assets. Now is the time for the UK to build on that leadership.

In accordance with Articles 4, paragraph 1 (a) and 12 paragraph 1 (a) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), all parties, taking into account their common but differentiated responsibilities and the specificity of their national and regional development priorities, their objectives and their situation, establish, periodically update, publish and make available to the Conference of the Parties (COP), national inventories of anthropogenic emissions by their sources and the absorption by their sinks of all greenhouse gases (GHGs) not controlled by the Montreal Protocol, using comparable methods to be approved by the PC. In this respect, the Paris Agreement, by contributing to the implementation of the Convention, aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and the fight against poverty, in particular by containing the global average temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing action to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, with the understanding that this would significantly reduce the risks and effects of climate change. These inventories relate to the time series 19902015 and cover anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of direct GHGs, namely carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O) and fluorinated gases (HFCs). Emissions of indirect GHG precursors such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) and those of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) are also reported. GHG emissions and removals have been estimated, in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines, for the energy,

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda therefore is committed to the governing objectives of a more sustainable and independent energy sector, substantially to be achieved by the following principal goals: a) Prepare and implement a systematic plan to reduce and sustain overall energy intensity of the Antigua & Barbuda economy by at least 10% below a 2010 baseline within 10 years. b) Revise building codes and support energy management programs in order to reduce consumption at Government and public facilities, industrial plants and other large users by identifying effective measures to control and improve efficiency by 30% over 15 years. c) Introduce legislation and appropriate economic incentives to fast track the migra- tion of public and private fossil powered vehicles to low carbon technologies with the aim of improving efficiency in the transportation sector by 40% in 15 years. d) Establish minimum efficiency standards for air-conditioning, refrigeration and other appliances as well as differentiated tariff to incentivize efficiency. e) Antigua & Barbuda Government being one of the largest energy consumers will assume the lead position as driver of cost reduction initiatives by legislating and implementing cost reduction initiatives with a view to reducing its consumption and costs by 30% in 10 years. f) Support energy efficient choices through improved awareness, information and services that can deliver energy efficiency.
