The aim of the project is to answer the following questions: What is the current situation in terms of implementation of climate plans – have the actions in the previous plans been initiated, what decisions have weakened or strengthened the emissions trends in different sectors? What will the main drivers of change in emissions and sinks in different sectors be in the near future, taking into account government policies, and how have the trends affecting emissions in various areas of society, as outlined earlier, changed in light of the latest information? What is the current emissions gap in relation to the targets, taking into account the changes and uncertainties referred to above? What are the most feasible measures for different sectors and how could they be implemented in time to close the emissions gap?
