per unit of GDP. However, in September 2015, Montenegro submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This was done as part of preparations for participation in the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, which was held in Paris on December 12, 2015 (COP 21), and where a new global agreement on climate change was reached. The treaty was signed on April 22, 2016, in New York, signed by 177 countries, and will enter into force after it is ratified by at least 55 countries that are jointly responsible for at least 55% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to the new agreement, all contracting parties to the Convention have an obligation to reduce emissions in a certain amount. According to the INDC, Montenegro has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 compared to 1990. CO2 emission sinks from forestry were not included in that projection, but the possibility was left that they could be included later, but by the end of 2020 at the latest. In this way, Montenegro will continue to contribute to the reduction of global emissions in accordance with current and future agreements, at the international and EU level, and continue to strive towards reaching the goals of the European Union on climate change.
