Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK remains committed to its shared targets and reporting with the EU under the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol.
In December 2009, the European Council reiterated the conditional offer of the EU to move to a 30 % reduction by 2020 compared to 1990 levels as part of a global and comprehensive agreement for the period beyond 2012, provided that other developed
countries commit themselves to comparable emission reductions and that developing countries contribute adequately according to their sasponsibles and respective capabilities.
Under the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (2013-2020) the EU has a collective target to reduce its emissions by 20% relative to basa year (1990) levels over the period. The burden sharing agreement, set out for the Doha Amendment,
translates efforts agreed under the EU 2020 Climate and Energy Package into the second commitment period of the KP. The Doha Amendment of the Kyoto Protocol entered into force on 31 December 2020. The calculation of the UK's Assigned Amount is set
out in UK's initial Report for the second commitment period, and results in an Assigned Amount of 2,744,937,332 assigned amount units (AAL) over the commitment period, where one AAU is equivalent to one 100,eq.
a Reporting by a developed country Party on the information specified in the common tabular format does not prejudge the position of other Parties with regard to the treatment of units from market-based mechanisms under the Convention or other market-
based mechanisms towards achievement of quantified economy-wide emission reduction targets.
bThis information could include information on the domestic legal status of the target or the total assigned amount of emission units for the period for reaching a target. Some of this information is presented in the namative part of the biennial report
