Decreasing emissions is a basic obligation for Parties to the Convention as well as a requirement under most of the protocols.

Emissions limits targets

In time, models could demonstrate how to relate this new global metric to emissions regional climate impact.

Emission reductions of sulphur in the ECE region for the period 1990 2003 (based on the latest data available).

Emission reductions of ammonia in the ECE region for the period 1990 2003 (based on the latest data available).

Thanks to the fires, its daily average emissions this September and October were ten times higher than normal.

Emission reductions of nitrogen oxides in the ECE region for the period 1990 2003 (based on the latest data available).

Among the most important of these are measures of waste flows for example, household solid wastes and emissions of various types from industrial facilities.

For the economies in transition, somewhat smaller improvements are projected, except for sulphur emissions.

These emissions targets are underpinned by three energy related objectives, which are also to be met by 2020

Well utilised mass transit vehicles tend to produce less pollution on a passenger kilometre basis, although older public transport vehicles are sometimes highly polluting on a vehicle kilometre basis.

The national targets proposed range from a 20 emissions reduction by the richest Member States (Luxembourg, Denmark, Ireland) to a 20 emissions increase by the poorest one (Bulgaria).

Developing countries will also need to play their part, significantly slowing and peaking emissions growth in the coming decades. For the US, such commitments would mean cutting emissions to around one tenth of today s per capita level, while for China it would mean creating a new low carbon model of economic development.

Developing countries will also need to play their part, significantly slowing and peaking emissions growth in the coming decades.

Emission reductions of non methane volatile organic compounds in the ECE region for the period 1990 2003 (based on the latest data available).

In addition, national communications should provide the projected values of these removals and emissions in the year 2000, as well as the estimated effect of measures on emissions of each of these gases and removals of CO2 in the year 2000.

The NH3 increase is not included in the reduction histograms.
