3. Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE
BACKGROUND
Montenegro has ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by means of succession, on 23rd October 2006 (Official Gazette of SRJ – International agreements No. 2/97), with date of entry into force of 21st January 2007
Montenegro is a non-Annex I party to the Convention.

4. Chapter 27: ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE
BACKGROUND
Montenegro ratified the Kyoto Protocol on 27th March 2007 (Official Gazette of Montenegro No 17/07)
Montenegro will align itself with the EU position and actions in regards to ratification of the Doha amendment to the Kyoto Protocol
Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism has general competencies in the area of Climate Change

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

Chapter 27: Environment and Climate Change
EFFORT SHARING DECISION
The first NC has been submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat in 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

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)

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

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

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.

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)

Transposition of the CCS 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 CCS directive
Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism will start drafting of the CCS legislation in 2015
Montenegro is currently drafting the Amendments to the Decree on projects that are subject to elaboration of EIA which will transpose provisions of the Directive 2009/31/EC amending Council Directive 85/337/EEC as to include provisions on CCS
