EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION Transposition of the ESD legislation is at early stage i.e. planning of the transposition Currently Montenegro does not have institutional setup in place for the implementation of the Effort Sharing Decision As a non-Annex I Party to the UNFCCC Convention Montenegro has no quantitative commitments for reductions of GHG emissions, but it is required to regularly provide National Communications (NC) Nevertheless, Montenegro as candidate country for EU accession will continue to focus its future policies towards alignment with the EU strategies and policies and towards future global climate agreement M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION The first NC has been submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat in 2010. Second NC is under preparation and the first draft is expected to be finished by the end of this year The first NC has provided inventory of GHG emissions for the base year 1990 and for 2003 M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION Sector Baseline Year 1990 2003 Emissions in CO2eq (Gg) Share in Total Emissions (%) Energy 2,540.28 50.1 2,656.60 49.9 Industrial Processes 1,642.04 32.4 1,889.13 35.5 Agriculture 783.59 15.4 655.16 12.3 Waste 104.37 2.1 119.28 2.3 T O T A L 5,070.28 100 5,320.17 M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION Within the first NC the preliminary projections of GHG emissions until 2025 in Montenegro were prepared Methodology for development of projections focused on energy and non-energy sector (industrial processes and waste) it did not considered implementation of EU climate change acquis. Energy related projections were developed using LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION Non-energy related projections were developed using IPCC guidelines Projections were prepared using 2 scenario approach: a baseline scenario (“business as usual”) and the one including measures for GHG emissions reduction Projections included all GHG gases Projections included data on sectors covered by EDS M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION Transport sector M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION Emissions from transport sector would be higher approximately 55% compared to the base year even if measures to reduce the emission would be implemented Total reduction of GHG emissions in transport sector in 2025 could amount to approximately 27%, compared to the baseline scenario M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION Emissions from waste sector would be higher approximately 58% compared to the base year even if measures to reduce the emission would be implemented Total reduction of GHG emissions in the waste sector could amount to approximately 28% compared to the baseline scenario M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT

EFFORT SHARING DECISION- transposition plans Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION- transposition plans Initial effort in developing of the projections of GHG emissions in sectors covered under ESD and identification of potentials for limitation/reduction of GHG emissions achieved through first NC will be strengthened and improved through second NC and other complementary activities i.e. National Strategy of Air Quality Management, Technology Needs Assessment etc. Ministry of Sustainable development and Tourism (MSDT) will coordinate development of National Strategy in the area of climate change.

EFFORT SHARING DECISION-transposition plans Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change EFFORT SHARING DECISION-transposition plans MSDT will in parallel coordinate and conduct necessary capacity building programme for the relevant national institutions and for the business and civil sector In its effort towards readiness for EU membership which implies ESD compliance, Montenegro will rely on the support of the EU instruments (IPA, TAIEX), and in particular the future regional support programme “Environment and Climate Regional Accession Network” (ECRAN) M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT
