Bhutan's enhanced mitigation efforts to remain carbon neutral includes sectoral
targets, strategies, and activities from the year 2021 to 2030 based on the
references in 1(e) above.
Bhutan's overall national target is to maintain the carbon neutral status. This is
expressed in relative terms of total GHG emissions against total removals of
GHG for each relevant target year.
Bhutan's enhanced mitigation efforts to remain carbon neutral includes sectoral
targets, strategies, and activities from the year 2021 to 2030 based on the
references in 1(e) above.
Bhutan's target is to maintain the status as a carbon neutral country where total
GHG emissions do not exceed total removals by sinks including forests.
In order to maintain this carbon neutral status, sectoral targets, programs and
plans have been prepared as part of sectoral LEDS and National REDD+ Strategy
and Action Plan as described above in section 1(c).
The implementation and achievement of this target will depend on the level of
support available for implementation and is therefore conditional on support
received.
For the overall target to remain carbon neutral, all gases and sectors are as
described in the Third National Communication.
All the methodologies and tools used for GHG inventory reporting followed the
2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 2006),
Good Practice Guidance, and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse
Gas Inventories (IPCC, 2000). The methodologies used was from
