This reference will be subject to final editing in the report of the session based on decisions adopted on the procedures and mechanisms relating to compliance.

Annex I countries may use certified CDM emissions reductions to help them comply with their emissions targets.

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

Estimation of emission reduction Some Parties included an assessment of the impacts of measures on GHG emissions.

Alternatively, a Party may apply different emission reduction strategies that achieve equivalent overall emission reductions.

If different emission reduction strategies that achieve equivalent overall emission reductions are applied, please describe these.

X second allows a national emission reduction plan to be implemented.

Emissions offset in voluntary markets for emissions reductions that are not compliant with the Kyoto Protocol.

The secret behind the cut in emissions was economic decline.

The CO2 reduction programme is the heart of this strategy.

(84) Studies on optimising the CO2 reduction programme

The estimated 8,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent were offset by emissions credits for two years of operation of a biomass fired boiler for district heating in Hungary.

The Expert Group discussed progress made on updating the guidance document in preparation for the review of the Gothenburg Protocol, recognizing the importance of harmonizing the guidance document with the relevant IPPC BREFs, in particular with respect to intensive livestock farming.

This would in particular accommodate the need of European Union Member States to surrender certified emission reductions (CERs) from CDM projects under the European Union emissions trading scheme by 30 April 2007.

Identifying realistic scenarios for post Kyoto emission reduction strategies

(57) Improvement of animal digestive efficiency as part of animal husbandry, in order to reduce methane emissions

Many countries already had a good record with reducing emissions of ozone depleting substances, but many ideas for reducing emissions fell outside the scope of the Montreal Protocol, which controlled only production and consumption.

Emissions of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) dropped considerably from 1987 to 1992 as a result of reduced emissions from magnesium production.

So we need to reduce by roughly ten fold the cost of cutting emissions.

Through implementing the Convention's protocols Parties have achieved large decreases in their pollutant emissions.

Many member States have already made considerable efforts to cut their GHG emissions.

In the absence of a global UN forum on air pollution, what steps can be taken to assist other regions that are still developing and to control air pollution that is transported between regions?

The data confirmed that additional actions were clearly required to curb emissions.

Box 6 Examples of instruments used to reduce emissions in selected Member States

It required such big reductions that only few countries could live up to it.

Emissions trading may offer much potential for decreasing the overall emissions of GHGs.

Japan intends to maintain measures in step with world opinion to curb carbon dioxide emissions.

Implement transport strategies for sustainable development to improve the affordability, efficiency and convenience of transport as well as urban air quality and health and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Draw up a national programme for the progressive reduction of the national emissions in order to demonstrate how they are going to meet the national emission ceilings by 2010.

The concrete action that they had in mind was getting governments to mandate drastic cuts in carbon dioxide emissions.

Mr. Amann noted the co benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation on air pollution.

It noted the relevance of eco driving to both reducing emissions and improving safety.

Iran assessed impacts using a general equilibrium model MS MRT (Multi Sector Multi Region Trade), and estimated that impacts on the national economy could range from a potential loss of USD 6.3 billion to a potential gain of USD 1.6 billion (at 1995 prices) by 2030.

The technical options for reducing emissions from the energy sector can broadly be categorized into

C. Policies and measures being implemented by Parties to reduce emissions and enhance sinks

These nations have the most financial resources and the greatest technological capacity to cut their emissions.

Certified products can be found at the IEEE's website.

Emission reductions based on the 1999 Gothenburg Protocol and the EU National Emission Ceilings Directive resulted in some soil recovery on most of the plots.

It has substantial potential to reduce emissions in non Annex I Parties.

The issue of continuous improvement measures for reducing emissions was also raised.

In addition, enhanced HFC 134a systems were being developed to help with energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

GAINS covered anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gas emissions including available mitigation options and costs.

Furthermore, it recognized that emission reduction strategies for nitrogen compounds (NOx, NH3) needed to be improved.

Within the EU framework, it continues to support passage of an effective joint CO2 reduction strategy.
