The Climate Change Act that entered into force in summer 2015 sets the long- term target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at a minimum of 80% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. Enshrining this target in the act provides the Government with clear guidelines for preparing the plans referred to in the Climate Change Act and a reference value for evaluating monitoring results. The long-term emission reduction target applies to all greenhouse gas emissions, while the medium-term climate policy plan only concerns the non-ETS sector.
