The Effort Sharing Decision (Decision No 406/2009/EC - ESD) establishes GHG emission limits for Member States to be achieved by 2020 through binding annual targets between 2013 and 2020 (Annual Emission Allocations - AEA). The ESD only refers to GHG emissions that are not included within the scope of the EU ETS (e.g. transport (except aviation), buildings, agriculture (excluding LULUCF) and waste). According to the ESD, each Member State must define and implement national PaMs to limit the GHG emissions covered by the ESD. The inclusion of the ESD within the EU's climate and energy package ensures that the abatement potential from non-ETS sectors contribute to the delivery of the EU-wide target of reducing GHG emissions by 20% below 1990 levels by 2020. For Estonia, the GHG emissions from non-ETS sectors have to be limited at least by 11% by the end of the period of 2013-2020 compared to 2005 (see Chapter 4.1.2).
