Wanting to prepare for the post-2020 international negotiations, EU leaders agreed in October 2014 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 % by 2030 compared to 1990. This target for Cyprus corresponds to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to 2005 by electricity, cement and ceramics industries (ETS sectors), and 24% in other sectors such as agriculture, transport, waste, etc. (non-ETS sectors), compared to 2005 levels.
