Climate change is one of the most difficult challenges facing the world today, and it calls for immediate action. Climate, Energy and Buildings Ministry unveiled the government’s climate policy plan.

The government’s goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with 40% by the year 2020, compared to1990 levels. A major step towards reaching that goal was accomplished in March 2012, with the political agreement on energy policy. The remaining reductions to achieve the goal will come primarily from the transportation, agriculture and construction sectors, and from waste management. In order to reach the government’s goal, we must eliminate the equivalent of approximately four million tonnes of CO2 emissions by 2020.
